Perhaps he had some clue has to how his opponents would react to his shove and that influenced his decision to push/fold. I think the kids are calling it a "read."

I think I've heard Curtains talk about "preserving chips" as chip leader, perhaps that is what's on his mind in this hand.

Of course reads are critical here, plus there's no shorty about to go out so Villains can correctly loosen up their calling ranges quite significantly if they think curtains is bullying.
