I push here as well. My reasons:
1) It keeps me out of trouble.
2) You get called by worse aces more than you'd think. Some people just can't believe that you'd push a hand as strong as AQ or AK.
The most overused phrase on this forum has to be, "you'll only get called by a better hand." I call BS on that one.

I agree with both your points.
My main question was about the POINT of the raise.
Isn't the main POINT - as you said - to keep you out of trouble with the added benefit of buying a couple blinds...
If the main point is blind buying...then I don't get it...

Why not? What's wrong with killing a fly with a howitzer? I've got the best hand, if they don't want me buying their blinds, they're gonna have to risk all their chips.
