As I said in my earlier response, if a table's that loose, I do like the all-in play. Because it can get called.

And once again, yes, I am prepared to call that AI with AA in my hand. If hands as bad as you'd have any reason to fear are calling raises of that size, then I would be raising more preflop. Unless I get AA within my first two orbits at a table, I'd have already tested this via in-position steal attempts.

I see far more hands that will bet big and lose to you on that board than win. 88 - KK will all be happy to push, and you dominate all of them. 77 and 99 beat you, but you have outs to 77 (99 as well...technically), and again, I'd be adjusting my play to get most of these hands out.

I guess what I'm arguing is that it depends on the table conditions. Assuming a loose/maniac table because it's NL$25 isn't always accurate...look at UB's NL$25. Play there is more logical than play at PP's NL$50. So yes, pushing against a raise while holding AA can certainly be the best play. There are also many situations where it's not, and you'd be better off milking it a bit. It does take more skill/thought to play this way, however (and I'm not saying that pushing is necessarily an unskilled move).
