not quite a pushed draw, but what about check-raising an inside straight flush draw big? it looks more like a made hand, i.e. set, 2 pair, have clean outs more often than not.
eg. from yesterday:
full table, 50NL on FT. min raise from mid position, two calllers to me in the SB with 57clubs. I call, BB calls. pf raiser has been fairly active, varying bet sizes, c-betting virtually every pot, getting little resistance. he had folded to a pf reraise by me earlier when he was the original raiser. i have not played much at all at this table.
flop comes 4c, 8c, Ah. I check, BB checks, pf raiser pots it, folds to me. I raise it to $25 ($20 more than his ~$5 bet). BB folds, pf raiser thinks for a while, then folds, asking if i hit a set.
would a push have been more or less likely to be called in this situation (assuming I have a $50 stack, opp has me covered)? if I lead the flop, does he smooth call or reraise, putting me to the test? he claimed to be laying down AK.
ps. sorry to hijack
