Don't get too excited about 22, because every extra pair that calls significantly hurts it.

That's very true. However, I think that people will much more easily throw away all kinds of mid PPs to a reraise all in (if it puts their whole stack in danger and the odds are not great), and will have much tougher time throwing AK, AQ for instance, in many common situation. This tendency really helps the EV of trash pairs here.

Also, I should point out that even though A9s has better equity when 77 and 66 call, that does NOT mean that A9s wants 77 and 66 to call. Quite the opposite is true.

Of course. Any hand that calls and is not dominated by A9s really better be in the muck, for the sake of the EV of pushing here. Am I wrong to assume that you want people to also muck their KQ, KJ and the like?
