As a winning player, what do you need to make your decision a call or push?
For example, if you think your hand is a 55% favorite over the range of hands that your opponent has, and a reraise would mean pushing, do you do it?
Do you need better odds, say 60%?
Or is a slight edge enough?
As another example, your opponent has gone all-in and you are faced with a pot odds of just better than 2:1, and you have the nut flush draw, but are convinced that your A out isn't likely to be good. So, you still have the right odds to call, but being a winning player, do you do it in this siutation with barely the correct odds? Do you wait?
Obviously, the point in the tournament will also dictate your decision, but I'd like to hear some general thoughts on the subject.
