If AK calls, you pick up more than that on average.

That conviently leaves out all of the over pairs to 33 (and there's a lot of them), which have you crushed.

Pushing may be slightly EV, but just that. I will do the calculations and post them when I have time.

Folding is very bad.

Why?

Raising and folding to a reraise is also bad. Most of the time the reraise is overcards where you are ahead plus pot odds. If you are going to raise, raise 3xBB or more and call a reraise.

You are a 41-59 dog against the range of AA-22 AK-A7 and KQ, so its close.

My point was that I when I get my chips in when I have 12BB's I want to try to make sure I'm leading, or at least not holding a hand which is easily dominated (like 33), and I'm not just juicing the pot so I have the odds to call off the rest of my stack. 33 doesn't lend itself to that.

Pushing isn't bad, its just not the way I prefer to play that size of stack.
