Default I increased my aggression in level 3 a lot, thoughts?

I have become a lot more aggressive in level 3 pushing hands in situations like this:

4 handed, villain has around 2000 chips and I have around 2000 chips (for the sake of demonstration assume the other 2 have 2000 chips as well)

UTG villain raises to 200, I push with QQ on the button. Normally I would make some sort of re-raise to 500, but screw that, just shove it all in. Post-flop play is for wusses!

Another situation, it's 6 handed and all stacks are fairly equal at around 600 chips except for one large stack UTG who folds. 1 limper UTG + 1, folded to me in the CO with JJ. I just push. Usually I was making a 200 chip raise, but pfft, what if the flop whiffs me and comes with an A, K or Q then I am crippled! Screw it, shove em in!

Bascially what I am trying to say here is I am pushing in situations with 15xBB when I see limpers ahead of me with strong hands like 99+, AK, AQ, etc or shoving with really strong hands like QQ+ and AK with a raiser ahead of me when both the raiser and I have large stacks in relations to the blinds.

In my mind this eliminates post-flop mistakes (which I make too many of) and keeps me from ending up with a REAL short stack hitting level 4 if I whiff a flop.

Agreed or am I just a whackjob batch?
