just saying that i wouldnt call a push w/o a MONSTER draw. 15+ outs. like a straight, flush, and overcards to a better TP. something that i am almost better than 50/50 to hit.

somebody willing to push, usually (not always), has something they are hoping holds up. current TP, two pair, set, etc.

as for the situation at hand, i feel you still have to be cautious...at lower levels...a set can pair the board and boat up while completing the flush...and sets like to push on flushy boards to protect their hand and get it over with before someone sucks out.

granted, you were talking tournament strategy..which means you need to take into consideration stack sizes...yours and villains. if you are critically stacked m<10, you may very well call...depending on whether or not you think the deeper stack may be trying to steal with crap.

i would still focus, in tourneys, on being the pusher...not the pushee. much tougher to call the push than be the one doing the pushing...and forcing villains to make a decision about how they compare to your hand.
