Would you care to elaborate on how this is new, different, interesting, right/wrong, or anything at all?

What is special about minraising at 200/400 with a stack of 1,600?

Considering if I push they probably both fold, this way I get more chips into the pot.

Of course, them not knowing that you're holding AA, you're laying down 4:1 odds for the original limper to call after BB folds. AA is ~87% against XY holding HU, and the limper is breaking even if he wins 20% of the time.
If BB calls, thats 5:1 for the original limper to call, in which case he has to win 16% of the time to break even.

This is a situation where you should just get your chips in as is. There's already 1000 chips in the pot with your SB, and you should be happy to win that right there, its 62.5% of your original stack of 1640 before posting.

this is so dumb. why would i push when i can just get more chips.

This is a great way to play them as long as you can fold when they flop two-pair or better.

If not, then your shooting yourself in the foot.

Because your opponents will call your push with their A6o and then you will double up, whereas they might fold to your all-in on a whiffed flop and then you don't double up.

Actually I go by Sykes84/JSykes. Feel free to come play at my tables if you like playing against another aggro blind stealer.

Whatever, Maybe I should have pushed. I just get the feeling that that SB was completing with an uber weak hand and limper had a weak hand and didn't want to come in for a raise and wasn't calling an all in.

the correct play is to fold and create a "mini bubble"

what??

ok, run the math given:

sb calls the all in 5%
limper calls the all in 25%
the number of times my hand holds up vs 2 random hands.
