Yes, pushing A-rag from here with this semi decent stack is a leak.

Your push should have some significant FE. Meaning, you are going to get called by tightest ranges. Which means a hand like A7 is going to do very poorly against that range. Also, with the amount of people left to act, they wake up with a hand in this tight range too frequently to making pushing this profitable.

As you get lower, you get called by a wider range, which can make pushing Ax more profitable.
