Blinds
10K/20K/20K BBante
9 handed
UTG2 (700K) raise to 50K... Good player that only raise with good hands in early position... In late position quite loose..
Hero in MP2 with AA (400K) shove… UTG folds…
In this particular spot my range would be TT+, AK, AQs… Then, when I am in that resteal spot with 20-25 BB I always shove with AA and KK..
But I sometimes think that with AA or KK maybe is better to raise 2.5x the villian raise and shove in the flop… What do you think? Am I losing equity with that shove with AA or KK ?...

If you are 3Betting small with a range consisting of only AA and KK, your opponents can exploit you and fold their entire range vs a small 3Bet. Jamming seems optimal here, to protect the rest of your range.

I choose to 3-bet shove with KK+ along with all of my playable hands. I think in part because a lot of players don't know I am doing this and expect me to have AA/KK less frequently than all other hands.
But there are advantages to 3-betting smallish with KK+ if you also include some balance with a range like JTs/T9s/98s. And you are young and throw around internet slang.
