Default AA in BB

5/10 blinds, live cash game

Me in BB $1,400
UTG $1000

UTG limps, 1 call, 1 raise to 30, folded to me. I raise 60 more to 90.

UTG reraises to 210 (120 more). All fold to me.

I've never played with this guy before and I usually play 1/2, 1/3, 2/5 blind games so it's somewhat new territory for me (The 5/10 blind game is the 2nd largest in my area and the largest [10/25] only spreads on Thrusday evenings).

That said, he just joined the game about hour before and had been playing solid. I was pretty sure he had a big pocket pair. He did lay down QQ earlier when an A was on the board, but not before putting about $300 in the pot.

I deliberated for a bit, trying to decide what to do.

I was only considering two moves:

1) reraise $400
2) push

What would you do and why?

shove with his stack; he obv loves his hand and u dont wunna risk a flop that could kill ur action (like if A flops and he has KK, or if he has AK and misses postflop, or if he has QQ and A OR K hits). He loves his hand and its live=SHOOOOVE preflop!

Either way, I assume you want the guy pot committed before pushing?

Shove all in preflop, as stated above, your opponent likes his hand, and live players can't find the fold button when this is the situation. He isn't finding a fold ever with KK here and will call with QQ/AK 60-75% of the time. No need to get cute. You get called often enough to make this more profitable than potentially risking a flop that kills your action.
