but why exactly am I pushing pre-flop? Im only called by hands that beat me.

That fact that you will only get called by hands that have you beat is not the point here since the majority of the time you push preflop you will win the pot uncontested. This coupled with the percentage of times you win when called make this play +EV

I understand this, and use this heavily in levels 5-7 in STTs, but in this situation I've got:

1) A very healthy chip situation, considering im on the button next hand, and have 2 hands to push and scoop both the blinds (as opposed to just the BB here)
2) A decent but not great hand

It seems to me like in this situation, pushing the flop gives me everything pushing PF doesn't. If I push the flop, I not only have the FE of winning the pot right there, but I'm a favorite against most hands.

Is completing from the SB so wrong in this situation?
