forgive me but what are these KS numbers you're talking about? Is there a post or article you could link me too?


As far as this hand goes, of course its a push, but I think the OP's inquiry into how pushes like these affect your FE later in the game is an interesting one. However, I assume (perhaps incorrectly but it makes sense) that as you go up in stakes, the number of opponents that will spite call you will decrease. Now I'm not saying the players have tighter calling standards, I don't know, but it would seem to me that you will run into more spite calls at the lower levels. Where as at the higher levels, you would presumably see some opponents make 'spite calls' that are actually more value calls since they are skillful enough to know certain situations are 'push any 2' and observant enough to notice which players also understand this and therefore their calls would be more for value than out of spite.
