I'd make it 400 here, you must have a very tight table image here, and I don't hate a steal with this kind of hand.

This may be a preference thing, but I hate getting called or pushed on, having to give up the hand, and be at sub 10BBs. I agree with your table image assessment, but when I open up and start stealing I like to do it with higher blinds and I like to push. Normal raising with 10-12 BBs just doesn't feel right.
Thank you, nWirb, sir, for posting so many questions, it really gets me thinking.
