This is the wrong way to think about hands.

You need to get a list of hand ranges and figure out about how good hands are compared to each other.

There are some spots where I will happily push K8o 100% of the time, and there are other spots where I have no trouble laying it down.

99-AA, AK-AQ = 5%
66-AA, AK-AT = 10%
44+, A7+, KJ+ = 15%
A2+, 22+, K9+, QJ = 25%
22+, A2+, K8+, QT+ = 30%
22+, A2+, K2+, Q7+, JT = 40%
22+, A2+, K2+, Q2+, J7+, T9 = 50%
22+, A2+, K2+, Q2+, J2+, T5+, 96+, 86+, T2s+, 94s+, 84s+, 74s+, 64s+, 53s+, 43s+ = 70%

This is what I think hand ranges should look like for pushing. The less stack you have, the more hands you push. The less active players around, the more hands you push. The more tight players are, the more you push.

There are probably suited hands you can throw into the mix there, but I think that above chart is a great starting point.
