I have widdled down to 15 bbs and jam UTG+1 with 9sTs and get jammed over by JTo I river a 9 and doubled up.
Now I am UTG and pick up AK and jam and lose to KK and TT.
A lot of people have told me this is far to big of an open and raise +GII is better.
What I am wondering is if I picked up AA KK or QQ and then raised 2.5 wouldn't that change my image and exploit my range? Should't I ship all my premiums here at 34ish BBs?
I felt that jamming any premium I got would get no respect and would get called off super light. What do you think?
I draw the line a little higher, based on position. Basically 10+ number of potential callers, give or take based on image, whatever, but I am absolutely fine at a competent table jamming from UTG with 15-18BBs.

35 is off the chart.
At 18bb I imagine we're going to have a range that will open/fold to 3b and open/4b jam. So what are we just stacking off with here? AK/99-QQ? We're getting pretty face up.
You jammed 15bb previous hand. Not 34. You can't really think villians at the table don't put you on that exact thought process.

Not many seem to think too deep in this field. The guy who had KK jammed 35bb with JTo over my shove. He earlier limped in UTG with 72hh and proceed to check down a 4 way flop to the river with T 7 7 3 9 board

No, at that stack size I am just jamming or folding. Might not be optimal, but it is certainly wider than that, and uncapped too.
It's not that the jam is that much worse than opening to a normal size or -EV, the main problem is removing so many strong hands from your normal opening range.
If you're shoving here, it needs to be with your entire opening range. However, opening to a normal amount with a playable stack like 35BBs seems far and away a better and lower variance strategy.
