[Cross-Post from MSNL] Something you guys don't do enough

This is not completely true. A range with some -EV hands may make more money than a range with no -EV hands because those -EV hands may force our short stacker to open up his range and pay off our big hands more and increase our equity with our more marginal holdings.

We shouldn't be shoving any hand which is -EV to shove in isolation (metagame reasons aside).

Of course you're right that we may want to shove some -EV hands depending on if/how shorty adjusts. But this involves metagame considerations, which I made a point of ignoring. I didn't really feel like calculating a game theoretically correct push range.

My last post was simply meant to show that there is a distinction between shoving a range that has x equity versus shoving individual hands that each have at least x equity.
