shozboy1:
Why shove here?
By 3betting you might get him to call you"re 3bet or push all in himself. If you shove on him he"s probably folding hands you have crushed like AK/AQ which wouldn"t be a good result

it depends but some people are happy to get TT-QQ/AQ/AK in pre here after 3betting, who may fold if they miss the flop or overcards come to their pocket pair. Depends on the opponent
also he has 3bet - a shove or raise by us will be a 4bet. A 4bet by us that doesn"t go all in might as well include a sign saying "i have aces"
maverick1:
im re-thinking this one, my gut is telling me i should raise but i also see the advantages of calling but i really hate calling with aces pre, better to raise to induce a shove and then leave it to the gods. If its worth a call then its worth a raise!
If you raise he has 2 options both of which could pay off, he can call or shove!
If you shove he has 2 options where only one of which will possibly pay you off. he"l call or fold.
id raise and leave him with the decision!
AceOnTheRiver:
Thanks for the responses - Like Maverick1 I hate calling with Aces pre (always fearful that they catch-up) so I opted to shove.
The responses tell me that no-one thinks this is a bad play although some see merit in calling.
In this case Villain tank-called with Pocket 9s (Pocket ******* 9s...... for all but 600 of his stack) and spiked on the turn so Ironically calling and then moving in on the Kxx flop would have taken it down.
