My God...I need someone to explain this to me...

Sit-n-Goes are cool -- they are fun little tourneys with bad players.

However, I don't understand this "pushing concept" at all. Why are you going to take a situation, as +EV as it may be, and risk all of your chips, on what might be no more then a coin-flip? I understand not wanting to let someone draw out on you, but I believe all you are doing is creating an "only called when beaten" situation (and I am not talking about AA, KK, etc...). Also, why are you going to take the decisions out of the game? If you are the better player, have better reads, and can out play the table, why are you going to toss that +EV for a situation where you might not have that great an advantage? I think that I have run across "chip vomitters" (or 2+2'ers?), and find it easy to adjust to this flawed way of thinking. Am I just reading way too much into this "pushing thing"? Why are you going to risk your whole stack, or a huge % of it to chase a little bit of money...and risk losing a huge amount?
