If flop comes rags and hero checks and villian moves all in, hero has to call getting 4-1 on his money, just right odds to draw to 6 outs. However, the situation becomes a lot more murky when the stacks get deeper. Consider this scenario. Maniac #1 has $50, you and maniac #2 have $150 effectively. Maniac #1 shoves for $50, now it's on you. Say both you and maniac #2 call. Flop comes rags and you check. Now maniac #2 shoves for $100, presumably protecting a small overpair. Now do you call the $100, getting about 2.5-1? Probably not. That's why in this case pushing over maniac #1's raise would be the correct decision, so you eliminate all post-flop play and don't have to worry about what happens if you miss the flop.
