My frequently wrong 2 cents? If I don't have a made hand (draw only, like the combo draw...) then I prolly still want the benefit of some FE 'cause any betting is still technically a semi-bluff. And if the Tu bricks you completely, your equity is likely to drop -- possible tank against their range.

If I have 52% equity with, say, a top or second pair + a draw, where my made hand is ahead of a chunk of their range by itself, I may not want to fold them out on the flop.

So much of this is SPR dependent. Shoving 80bb into a 12bb pot is IMHO usually a horrible idea, as you'll fold out anything that you beat, lose the oppty to extract value from worst hands, and get called by the sh!t that's likely to cream you. In OPs original question, this semi-bluff pot-commits him anyway, so he's going all-in... It's really just a now or later, and the now maximizes his FE.

If I'm way off here, I'm sure someone else will tell you...
