responding to getting pushed around

It's probably a bad question, but what the heck do I do? Keep plowing forward and having to decide to call a push with K9? Wait for a hand? Open push more?

I think the last option is the best, even if that includes +10BB hands. It's the only style your opponents wont like. All the others favor them making their earlier plays somewhat justified.

When shoving A5s for 10BB is +EV, shoving it for 13BB can't become very -EV. So be prepared to die, because otherwise that's what seperates them from you.
