In moving to NL$200, I've noticed a vast increase in the number of players making this play. Caused me to think a bit...

With a 35% chance to hit, is it proper play to push every time you have such a draw with an unpaired board, providing you expect at least 2 callers? It seems like you'd see a lot of variance with this approach (65% of the time, you're dropping your stack), but long term, is this a g00t play? What about pushing when you're in the same situation, with a stack that's just a bit less than the size of the pot? If you take it down, you're golden; if you get any callers, you have the odds on your side.

Thoughts?

On a related note...Can a play be correct and make money for both players involved? Ex. I have a flush draw and you have a set. I push; you call. If 35% of the time, I make more than double my bet, it's a winning play for me. But if you make more than double the bet 65% of the time, it's even more of a winner for you. So who's the loser? The pot?
