Re: Frozen hand
This seems like a very standard move to me. The reason imo is that the raise all in creates a decent amount of folding equity on Hero's part.
Additionally, hero also figures to have the best hand after a SB limper. This makes a push hugely plus ev. Limping with a hand that good and a big stack is frankly not a good play at all by the small blind.
Hero is also not as safe from bubbling as you think, one or two hands can make the difference.
