If you have to start taking -EV moves but still have good folding equity, you should push the next possible hand. Every hand that you wait makes your situation worse since you are in a spot where you should take a small -EV gamble to avoid a big -EV gamble later on. This of course depends on the amount of FE you have, and as it decreases you have to tighten up your pushes. So if you are delt 75o UTG and feel like everyone will only call with say A2+/22+ you should push it (and you feel like going through the blinds will kill your FE). However if you are UTG with exactly the size of the BB (or some small # of chips) you would then fold that 75o and let it ride in the BB with a random hand.
