This is my new big idea. If you can raise more with bullets, get the same number of callers and no one notes anything unusual, then you should do so. If no one's paying attention, you're not giving away information. Note, this is not about protecting the hand, it's simply about getting value.

There is no flaw in this reasoning.

Extreme example: If you you open push AA all-in on the very first hand of the Moneymaker freeroll at Stars, you'll get at least one caller < 90% of the time. So obviously, this is the most +EV thing to do.

Word. In order to do this at a totally new table though, there have to be some external factors that play in (like knowing that many players on this site will call too big bets with weak holdings). Kinda obvious I guess.

2/3 pot bet. This isn't a drawy board and you are trying to keep mid pairs with you and Ax.

I agree with the bet and later calling shorty but at what point do you give up?

1. MP3 raise with 2 behind?
2. BB CR?
3. MP3 call and BB CR?

It would be easier to fold if he had more chips. I think #3 is the only one I consider folding, but after betting such a large portion of my stack on the flop, I might still call.
