Since the dead chips in the middle have alot to do with most responses, how would most people play a low pair like this? Complete, 3x, 125, or bait the push here? Reasons?

I like curtains's line for meta-game reasons (as long as he called the push). It tells everyone "respect my raises, cause I just might call your push." So now you can take down future pots with much less risk.

Everyone's so eager to just push in all the time here, but that can cost you later against observant opponents (as you would hope they are at the 215s).

A larger more pot committing raise is fine too, in any case I decided before raising that I was almost surely calling an allin. In retrospect I do prefer a raise of 175-200 against this guy, as I dont want it to be too easy for him to just call preflop.
