Question Re. Pushing PF

2: Flop hits me, he checks, followed by my bet and his fold. This would be the worst situation, where I would miss out the most compared to pushing preflop.

You think it's a good thing that you managed to get all the money in as a 3:1 dog? Just because you hit? That's pure hindsight thinking.

3: Flop misses, he bets. Often an easy fold and I'm still in the tournament.

I don't EVER put in half my chips preflop, and then fold. Or, pretty much almost never, and never by plan.

Your all-in was fine, as long as you had good reason to believe he did not hold AA or KK. Especially if there's a reasonable chance he's holding a worse non-paired hand, such as AQ.
