Come on arod, think about it for a minute... the reason not to push is a pretty general concept.
All a push does is fold out hands you beat and get you called by hands when your beat. If you think you are ahead you want to call and induce another bluff by villan trying to push out an A with his KK. If you call this flop bet you are going with a read that you are ahead and trying to maximize value out of this hand.
Pushing is just scared poker because you don't want to make anymore difficult decisions on later streets, however all it reall does is ensure you either lose the most or win the least.

Pushing crossed my mind as does everything. But that wasnt my question. I folded. My question is why call and build a pot. Folding I thought was standard....
