Just how young (and why) are the top players online?

Anyway, it's a certainty that if Doyle is going to call an all in with 33, his overall equity in the hand is larger by simply pushing himself because of the fold equity he gains with his vulnerable 33.

I agree with this. But there is something you have to understand about us "old" guys. We just don't like to sit around all day waiting for those big pairs that never come like they do for you young guys. And some of us, like Doyle, don't mind gambling. In fact, Doyle loves to gamble.

So he has no problem making a play like this even though, like you said, it is more profitable to push than pull.
