    I can't realistically imagine any history you could have with any Villain that would allow you to not shove here.

    I mean he'd have to have folded AJo or KQ suited and have absolutely no raise/folding range that was anything less than AQ+ in the same position (and also shown you an un-doctored HH to prove it) to make this not a shove.

    Manch -- why jam?

    I think 3-bet to 30-32k/call is a better line. I think worse hands consider 4-bet jamming here and better hands are calling the jam anyway. Only potential downside is that OR flats and limper comes along.
