You realize how bad it would be if you folded and he had AK. Atleast in the higher limits.

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Honestly I don't. Could you guys explain? Granted, my frame of reference is the lower limits where aggressive bubble stealing is probably vastly easier. Is that what makes the difference?

I've open-pushed 99 and been called by KJ-type hands and about half the time, I'm out. AK has the same relative strength. I suppose what influences the decision is what kind of chance you have if you fold (lower at higher buy-ins), and the kind of advantage a large stack gives you, assuming you win (is this a larger edge at higher buy-ins? At lower ones being big stack just makes people desperate and they love to call with T8).
