Re: An explanation to NOT push preflop..
[ QUOTE ]
If you insta-push any time someone completes at the later levels, people figure it out and adjust (he pushed, he effectively hasn't looked at his cards yet/I'm pissed off at this aggro biatch, I'm making a stand).

This has implications the other way too. If it's short-handed and I'm first to act in the SB (especially HU) and the blinds are still reasonable, I will often complete with rags a couple of times, intending to insta-fold. This "trains" the BB to raise or push into my completion. I can then trap him by just completing with a monster, and then he raises/pushes where he would normally fold to a push.
