Ryan,

As I keep saying, the relevant question is, "Is shoving more +EV than a straightforward raise?" With that in mind, you need to calculate what the expectation is for raising to 3 times the big blind and folding to a shove against hands that have you beat and winning the pot right there against hands that you have beat. Of course, that's not what will happen, but this is an important comparison we need as a first step.
