if we are talking about pushing, benny, we are talking about putting another 90$ in, and it doesnt really matter how big the pot is. We are assuming he is calling 100%, which means we need to be over 50% for it to be profitable. for every additional dollar we're putting in after calling, we need to be a favorite. Shoving when you are behind his range and expect a call is nothing shy of a donation.

i had to think long about this..man my math skills are fading..but yea, you're right, we need to be >50% vs their calling range for pushing to be more ev than calling even if it's like $1 more into a $10000 pot.
the basic equation is ev = ev(call) + ev(push).
assuming we have 35% equity, then ev(push) = $93 x .35 - $93 x .65...obv a negative number, and won't be positive unless we have > 50% equity.
