Default Re: Misplayed on all streets?

Then I think one of us has the wrong idea about pushing with decent draws. As I understand it, the main idea behind pushing here is to get a fold from a hand that would otherwise call down smaller bets and beat you barring improvement. You're investing your stack into this hand hoping to get a fold, not hoping to get a call from a hand that at best is 50/50 with your draw. If your semi-bluff has absolutely no folding equity, what's the point in pushing?

Hand 1: 50.5122 %
Hand 2: 49.4878 %

Willingly taking this action for big pots is surely high variance. Unless you're just trying to harbor a maniacal image to get paid off later, I don't see the point. Keep in mind this is the minimum we're putting this guy on. He obviously calls with 2 pair, sets and overpairs.

Just my .02, :-/.
