I like the raise Preflop, with all the action after the raise, I probably just push to put everyone all in and take the cards as they come. As played, I probably just check this flop, and call anything from CO.

easy push. raising will get callers on flop that misses us 2/3 of the time

I'd push PF in a micro. People don't fold Ax pretty often.

Also, I tend to like what I call the 10% of your stack rule. If shoving right now and everyone folding increases your stack by 10%, then a shove is probably better than a raise. There is 405 in the pot when it gets to you and you have 1800 chips. Just shove it (especially with all the short effective stacks at your table).

I like that; I think I'm going to adapt that, especially for micros.

Oh and the results were somewhat of a brag topic. QJvsKQvsAJvs my AK and I busted them all with air.
