[Closed] $1 AA on middle stage

nh wp.. although at this blind level you can begin raising 2,5xbb 1xbb per limper... or even 2,25xbb + 1xbb per limper depending on player style.. on the $1 - $5's a lot of people prefer to keep the 3xbb + 1xbb tho as it fits their style the most.

so 500 preflop is standard and your playing $1 sng's.. most of these players won't think at all about your hand so trying to hide your strength would be a waste of value

and on flop I would most likely just shove... opponent has less than pot size bet left so just shove it in there.

Regarding shove I have to disagree. Against bad players is better just raise even you are practically all-in. Mostly they will play the same way regardless of bet size, but there are marginal situation, where fish paradoxically put you stronger hand when you push imo, or more precisely they fold more draws.
Maybe it's only my feeling.

your thought process is right in so many spots.. but in this situation stack sizes are just so small compared to pot.. and I'm afraid we might level ourselves raising here since imo it might represent more strength here since well would you raise AKo on this board or would you shove it?

In the end there isn't much equity difference in raising or shoving in this spot... but if your playing against me I would take a raise as a much stronger line here than shoving but I guess I'm not the average fish on the $1's ♦

That's what I'm talking about. You should consider that this is 1$ SnG. Do you think that villain think about which range you push and which you only raise? It's about psychology. I think bad player see more strength when he see that you are all-in.

But there is probably no exact solution.

ofc from "poker theory" is this spot easy all-in, but...
