Also, I'm not sure why you think that betting 1/3 of your stack is being pot committed no matter what the flop is? There are coordinated flops that you can fold AA to, especially if there are more than 2 players in the hand.

Well, with 1 caller, having bet 1/3 of my chips, my stack is the same as the pot. If they go all-in, I'm getting 2:1 odds. Unless it's a really scary board, or I have a good read on the person, it will be hard to get away from.

And this is why just playing the odds in a live, capped game may not be the best strategy all the time. We are having this same discussion in another thread here about 2+2 strategy forums and the different types of advice for online vs live. There may be no reason to call a post flop push on a coordinated board even at 2:1 because you may very well already be a less than 2:1 dog.
