Re: help me understand - overpushing big draws
I think the idea is that you're pretty sure your opponent has an overpair or AK and you have 12 solid outs to complete your draw. That makes you about even money to the river. You have a good amount of fold equity here (put yourself in your opponent's shoes holding AA with no spade). Even if he calls, you're getting decent pot odds. The fold equity helps make this move +EV too.
