You really suck at stack sizes.

isn't this the ol, oesfd-push? if he folds we're happy, if he calls we're less happy but most likely 50/50?

I hate these because I very very very very much doubt you ever do this with an Ace, 99 or 88.

If I had KK I would call your push here.

i hope so, enjoy losing money...

True

my real question is : Is this better than waiting to hit? MY only real query is that AA will call and I will lose money when it does, but be able to stack it when I can.

I guess the EV of this play is like +40 dollars, so it's probably better than just calling.

You lose money by calling I think. When you start calling with KK, I start doing this with a set.

every time I push in this situation I think this (wow, the only hand i ever push here is a oesfd) ... n then every time I decide to make a standard raise (not push) I end up whiffing & getting faced with a crappy decision.
