Results and thoughts...
 

Like many others have deduced, I also thought it was a pretty easy math problem. The additional $55 I extract from MP3 is worth the risk losing the pot. In addition, should he have the pair I put him on and the flop comes xxx...all unders to his pair, he would also likely pay me off.

Alas, as is evidenced in my recent posts, I cannot win with AA:

Thanks for all your thoughts.

he probably pays you off w/even only one overcard, especially if its a T, J, or Q

I have to disagree here. Remember, it's a protected pot.

i know it's tough not to be results-oriented but you made the correct play here you want to do whatever you can based on your reads to get as much money in pf as possible and a push lets him get away from his 77/88/99/TT/whatever.
