The ATo hand at 13mins, I disagree with the pros. 
I would say raise/calling ATo is better than open-shoving in this spot. When you think the small blind is potentially shoving wide over a buttonraise from an aggro like RonFez( with an ideal reshoving stack), don't you want to give him the oppertunity? I agree it is more high varience to induce a shove from a range that has good equity vs AT, but on the other hand RonFez has a big stack and can take a hit there if he would lose.
Another argument for raise/calling instead of open shoving is that ATo does well against a potential rather loose reshipping range and really bad against a range that would call the 19BB allin. So by openshipping you filter out all the hands RonFez dominates.
I'm curious what you guys think of my opinion. Don't want to be the guy that keeps disagreeing witht the pro's considering I haven't made less then 10% of bigdogg, but I still disagree 😛

+2. We've seen a few of these examples lately of button vs. BB where we debate shoving vs. standard raise. Shoving AT allows tons of weaker Ace X hands here to fold and reduces calls to hands that flip/flop well against us. Last thing we want to to is make a move that removes the only hands we actually dominate.
