newt,

i agree with most of what you said -- that shoving has got to be wrong, and calling looks thin/bad. the other problem (and i think this is significant, and shaun mentioned it above), is that when i call and check/fold the overwhelming majority of flops that im gonna be check/folding, my stack has lost a lot of resteal FE -- instead of 9800 i'll be at 8600, 8200 after my SB. and at this table where people were opening light, i think it was important to hold onto that.
