3000ish pre for sure. flop is so dry you can check sometimes too, to induce since you have the ace and go from there, and not many draws out there. if you play it straightforward and bet flop, shoving turn is fine too since he has a PSB bet anyways and if you bet 1/2 pot opponent should think he is committed anyways.

2.5x is really standard these days. it gets the same amount of respect as a usual 3x and it saves you chips in the long run. most don't start shaving off chips off raises till antes kick in, since stacks start getting alot lighter once antes kick in.

I think shoving beats any other move in that spot

true, but it really doesn't matter if you won or lost. you pretty much have to get value here out of worse aces in this situation.

Absolutely, and it's not like you're going to bet half of your stack on turn and fold to a re-raise or a bet on the river.
