What about raising to 180, and seeing if you can induce MP3 to shove if he has KK/AK or fold otherwise? Or is that just too FPS?

This is essentially what I did - I made it $170 to go, assuming MP3 would push with a top-three hand and fold otherwise (he seemed to be a pretty smart player who would not call a four-bet light), and CO and I would go heads-up for his stack.

Sadly, both folded, even CO who had half his stack in. The whole table groaned and grumbled how obvious it was that I had aces (and I didn't think I was playing particularly rockish). MP3 asked what I had behind but I think he was just being playful, since he mucked without too much thought. CO though for all of 15 seconds before mucking.

Thanks for the responses all - I agree reraising and getting HU was the best option, but it so happened it had sub-optimal results.
