I have a hole in my game, and it involves the way I handle monster hands versus short stacks:

full tilt poker $2 + $0.25 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t50/t100 Blinds - 9 players - http://www.handconverter.com/hands/1025925
The DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter
UTG+2: t1395 13.95 BBs
Hero (MP1): t1810 18.10 BBs
MP2: t2770 27.70 BBs
CO: t2195 21.95 BBs
BTN: t1370 13.70 BBs
SB: t680 6.80 BBs
BB: t705 7.05 BBs
UTG: t1675 16.75 BBs
UTG+1: t900 9 BBs

Pre Flop: (t150) Hero is MP1 with Ac As

I don't know how to induce an all-in from one of the blinds while keeping myself less vulnerable to the other larger stacks at the table. Is it possible? In this case, the blinds were nitty, but they had gone all-in a couple of times versus limpers.

Holding a monster with this many players left at the table I'm more interested in stacking off against one of the bigger stacks rather than inducing a shove from the short stacks. I open my normal amount hoping for action and if I don't get it I don't get it.

yea you definitely want to get involved with a big stack here. just play it normal 3x or 2.5x raise whatever you have been doing and if anyone three bets 4bet or shove. don't be afraid of the big stack your at least a 70 pecent favorite to double through a big stack.

Thanks for the advice. Like I said, this is a hole in my game. However, the hole appears to be in my overall strategy than how I play a hand.

Limping wouldn't be out of the question here, but my standard play is to 2.25x it.
