SB raise all in

[kurosh]

PS $25 turbo NL SNG

6 handed. Blinds are 100/200. Folded around to button who calls. Button has ~3000. I'm in SB with ~1300. BB has ~1500.

I have 66 and I push. Rate my play.

Pretty much same situation with blinds and stacks except this time it's UTG not button. I have AQo and I raise to 600. He pushes and I call. He turns over KK. I HATE PEOPLE WHO LIMP WITH KINGS AND ACES. Anyway I could have seen this coming/played it differently?

Obvious easy push. If you get shown AA or KK, so be it. Push all the time. You can't call, you can't fold (your hand is too good), a raise less than all-in is suicide so you push.

Why the hell are you raising with 600 with only 1300 left? (2nd example) UTG limp-reraise is always scary, but I don't have a chance in hell of saving my stack when I'm short and someone limps with an amazing hand.

This push is as basic as they come.

Yeah I thought these were all basic pushes but I've been getting beat so much lately I need to reconfirm.
