Default Re: ($27) AJ push or raise ?

I consider 3.5x a strong raise here & 2.5x a weaker raise.

Especially when the BB is almost 2x your stack.

Another reason why the push all in is the best choice here.

Would you make the 2.5xBB raise with AA or bigger? Go all-in? The 2.5xBB would give you a few options to play post-flop.

If I had been making 2.5xBB raises recently then I would do so w/ AA as well. Otherwise it looks a little suspicious. Otherwise I would raise 3xBB.

You only have 13xBB left. I would probably push it here.

I like the 250. It takes the blinds most of the time. You can get away if someone pushes. If someone calls, oh well, play the flop. With 1100 chips I'd push.

the raise size all depends on the BB's propensity for calling raises from the CO. if you have a tight, straight-forward rock in the BB I like the 250 raise for the reasons mentioned above.

because of the awkward stack size (the old 13-11 BB quandry) i think a bet of 250 size makes sense. I think if you're going to bet 350 here you might as well push.
