Hence, AT LEAST 900.... just saying calling or folding are far worse choices than raising, any amount. But for me, it all really depends on what I think they think of me, and how they have been playing to whether I push or 'standard' raise. I just like leaving an out...

How are you leaving an out? You aren't going to fold anyways. Why not just push it in?

As I said, we're missing some history here... I very well fold if they do something screwey and away from their norm... Three handed, its much easier to read people than full ring...

This is correct, you dont want to leave yourself open to a stop and go.

The short stack is obviously in the blinds, and will act first - so the right of first bluff.

That and you will have to call any reraise, so just push, keep it simple. You can't just play your stack, you have to play your opponents stacks too.

Your aces hands are a favorite if you see all five cards, so see all five cards.
