Default bubble hand w/ AA

$30+$3, Blinds 75/150

CO 1000 [As, Ad]
BUT 2500
SB 2500
BB 2000

Would you be more likely to push this, min-raise, or limp, and why?

Push. I like to be consistent with the 10xBB rule--it's easy to see that you're trying to get value if you push a bunch of hands in a row and then raise to 3xBB.

this situation is a push. If i have over 20BB it depends on my image, ranging from a push to a standard raise to a limp reraise.

yeah I guess you're probably right, I was just thinking that at the $33s you might be able to limp it and double up if they hit any pair on the flop. Has anyone out there tried that consistently?

I'd probably push, and I'd probably show it.

Occasionally I'll mix-up my open push here with a limp or min-raise, looking for a re-raise. This is covered in the opening section of Harrington v.II I believe, or maybe it was the first volume. This works especially well if you've got a read on the BB as an agressive defender.

Not often, but I pull it out maybe 20% of the time i'm in this situation with a very big hand (usually just AA, KK, sometimes QQ). It works especially well if you're right on the 10x threshold (and thus haven't been open-pushing as much, you've been making smaller raises in recent memory) and you can often get BSB to re-raise or even push over the top with very mediocre hands...

its certainly dangerous, but its paid off enough to be a strong part of my arsenal...
