True he might have KQ but you are putting half your stack at risk to be only a 60-40 favorite whereas if you simply call this hand you aren't putting too much of your stack at risk.

Uffff ..... are you kiddin'? If I am sure of being a 3:2 fave AND getting a call, then I am shoving all day long and not thinking twice about it.

The key here is if you are very sure to be ahead, you most likely don't want to shove unless you are very sure of getting a call.

No no, you are right. I was just saying that one of the BEST possible outcomes you could have was him having KQ besides calling you all in with a hand you have dominated. My point was that the WORST hand I think he could call you with is only a slight dog whereas most of the hands will be either a coinflip or have you dominated, none of which are terribly desirable. With a big stack, you should be bullying, not GAMBLING half your chips on a coin situation when you could easily find better spots. I still stand by mine/our earlier posts which say to call because if you call and flop donks, you fold and move on with your life..."wasting" AJs should be the least of your poker worries.
