Aggression was the name of my game today, and I got to where I was because of it. Does that make this more likely a call, or is it a fold every time?

Depends on the opponent, if he has been folding a lot to your raises and is likely on a tight range here then you definitley want to lay it down, but if you have seen him be aggressive with weaker hands especially if you are raising very often then I would call.

there are very few situations where i am calling here. this is not one of them.

Raise a bit less preflop, it will be a lot easier to get away from. If you have been really agressive and BB has noticed I would call. There is a nice overlay and AT should do ok vs his range. Plus you are already ITM and as the shortstack if you think a play is +CEV you need to take it.

Blinds are still low enough that a fold doesn't kill you. I'd only call if I knew for sure the villian was shoving real wide. FWIW I like the amount of the pf raise, enough to push out garbage from calling but you can still get away from it if need be.

indeed.

Raise less? 3x isn't "standard"? Doesn't anything less show too much weakness and encourage a play back? I didn't want to stray from my usual raise percentage.

I call, AKo beats me, I hang my head in shame.

You can easily raise to 2.5xBB in the later levels so 400 would be better. Saves chips if you have to fold and makes c-betting cheaper.
