There are three overs and two draws on the board.

i'm not saying a push is right, but this is not a good argument why it's not. there could be 4 overs - if i push, my hand is no better or worse than 22. this is obviously not a push for value.

and the fact that there are draws is good. it means that there are some extra hands out there - JT, 7c8c JcKc, etc that are likely to call the flop bet (remember he called with one guy to act on the flop on a draw heavy board) but then can't call the turn.

admittedly, i could also check and hope that villain checks his draw behind on the turn, misses his draw, and doesn't bluff the river. so the presence of draws is not a clear signal to push. also some of his draws are A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]x [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], which i obviously don't want to push into.
