With the chip lead and the small stack close to being blinded out?

Do I really want to risk moneying on a potential coin flip?

The short stack is not short enough, with 8.5 BBs its no place to be waiting arround for him to bust. Being the big stack makes it easier to push here because the others are able to bust out while you would just be crippled POOSH

Maybe I am being results oriented-- but I pushed and got sucked out on the river by AK.

I wished I had just smooth called and then pushed on a flop with no overcards. Why would that line be wrong?
