This may have been discussed before, so if so I apologize.
Some backround first....Level 5 of a party SNG
(75/150 blinds, I'm in the SB with about 900 chips. It's folded to me in the SB and I push with two cards, BB who had me covered by about 300 instacalls with A2 and wins. He then of course procedes to berate me, tell me how stupid I am etc. Then he said something that I found kind of interesting. He told me that if I had just raised to 400, nearly half my stack, he would of folded, but since I pushed he called. I guess my question is, against your typical bad party poker opponent, does pushing really give you more folding equity. The likely response is that this was just an isolated case regarding one player, but after constantly seeing people call all-ins with very weak holdings, I just begin to wonder if there aren't a lot more people which feel the same way as this particular player feels. There probably aren't enough players who actually play like this to justify not pushing, but I just thought it was something to consider.
