hand one as played I'd fold. I push preflop.

You would really open-shove 16 BBs in that spot? Seems like a donkish overbet. Would you play AA/KK the same way?

I think I'd rather open shove than raise/fold from CO. I also think that how we play AA is somewhat irrelevant.

These are just observations. I'm not sure what I'd actually do here but raise-folding is not something I'd be doing in a vacuum.

agreed. how we'd play AA,KK is only relevant if we've been active lately, making raises and then we suddenly changed the raise amount. If I've been short and pushed a couple of times and double up w/ a marginal hand that was shown, I may be inclined to open push w/ aa,kk and opponent's calling ranging is going to be very wide given our LAG image.
