Bet sizing to allow 4-bet all-in.

With blinds at 100k/200k, I opened to 600k in the cutoff. Your friend shoved for 350k more (950k total), and SB cold called with AQ. Believe me, I wanted to jam the hell out of it here, but because Mark's raise was not a legal re-raise, I was not able to overshove. Stars only gave me the option to call the extra 350k because the raise was not a legal 400k re-raise.

If you're raising into a short stack, expecting that short stack to push or fold, is it worth changing the size of your opening raise to make his expected push a legal raise, so that you can re-push over any potential callers?

In the case quoted above, opening for t550k would allow the shortstack to push for t950k, which would reopen the betting for the original raiser. Is this something to take into consideration, or too subtle and situational to be worth the trouble?
