+EV is +EV... no?

You need to look at the long hall. Yes, these situations are +EV and it can't be too bad to push in them. However, most opponents who will call a push with KQ here will also pay you off when you hit. So you can be MORE +EV by calling instead of pushing. They also will not protect their hands on the turn often even giving you a FREE look at the river. Also, if you are like me, losing a big pot to a guy who makes what should be a bad call with KQ here will likely set me tilting and I will lose much more money. So I have completely stopped making these pushes. I am happier and richer for it.

Very good point. As Doyle instructs in SS, "Never gamble with poor players"
