I agree that open pushing is sort of vulgar. But if making a decent open raise (3-5 BB) commits your stack, then you might as well push. And with an M of 10, raising 4 BB is close to committing if you're OOP and plan on making a continuation bet whether you hit or not.

I think we've all tried raising with AK, getting called, missed the flop and then had to lay it down to some guy with position that maybe had a hand or maybe outplayed us. I hate that feeling. Maybe I'm not a good enough poker player post-flop.

So I push.
