No. Given the short stacked 3rd player, ZJ will have to fold mediocre hands to any sized reraise, will shove strong hands over a normal sized reraise but fold (or consider folding, as in this thread) them to a huge "I'm pot committed reraise". So if apestyles has a monster hand, making a normal sized reraise dominates making a larger reraise, which means it's as good as or better than in all possible scenarios. Which is why I said he would never do this with a good hand.
