your argument is that we can't predict if it will make it higher or lower so just take all of the + and don't worry about it...we may get aces and it helps then...

well we can't predict most things in poker, but we still work to do as best as we can...if i know that pushing now (blinds 75/150) will most likely prevent me from being able to profitably be able to push in 2 hands (blinds 100/200) then i may want to fold this .1ev hand...u have to use judgement

and u are much more likely to get a hand that does worse against the wider range than does better against the wider range...and that's the point of all of this...what's likely to result in more money

again, i don't think that u should be passing up +.8ev situations because u don't wanna look loose...but +.1ev? sure, at times
