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.
