Yes, that means you need to be a favorite against her range to profitably push. You don't need to be a favorite against her range to call.
i might be wrong, but here's how i look at it:

pushing is not like putting in $190 into the pot...you first have to call the $100 then put in $90 more.

so really you're betting 90 into a huge pot that there are enough worse hands in her calling range.

in other words if there are enough worse that raise $100 more for value, then there are enough worse that call $90 on top.
