Re: KQs on button. Short stacked late in tourny.
The reason that going all-in is more +ev than any other kind of raise is that it increases your fold equity. The blinds are big enough in relation to your stack that you'd much rather take the blinds down without seeing a flop than get called and leave it up to the board. If you bet less than everything and get called, you're pot committed whether you like the flop or not. Considering you're going to miss the flop 2 out of 3 times, Why take your chances with seeing it when you'll have no firepower once you get there?
