I'd raise to 3x the BB.

Re: Standard Push?
 

and after raising to 3xbb whats my plan on the flop?

Re: Standard Push?
 

I would push as fast as I possibly could.

That's bad advice. You have minimal folding equity. I prefer a check, with the plan to bet most flops if it is checked to you.

A push is questionable. A check and bet on the flop is better, I think.

Unless he is tricky, I'd push this.

Re: Standard Push?
 

I guess I should have also added the tricky part. If he limped with AA earlier then I might just check. But if he is standard I push immediately like it was a no-brainer with my monster cards.

Re: Standard Push?
 

I like pushing this best, but I dont think its bad to check it and see a flop. You have position.

I dont like the 3x BB raise. This is bleeding chips in many cases.

Checking works too --- but I'd rather give the SB a chance to lay their hand down preflop without risking all my chips.

I understand that desire, but you risk a re-raise all-in from a thinking/tricky player. Either shove it or take a free flop. The 3xBB raise is just asking for trouble, though.
