No no I agree with the fact someone WILL call him, but the pot has about 10$ in it, again, you're right not that bad. But personally. I think at ABSOLUTE WORST here, which would be bad is he's against a set. It's very possible someone limped with bottom set here. But I still prefer him going all in to CALLING down on a draw.
Both plays not GREAT, but... it's not the worst.
If he's against A2 or a set of tens, his outs are virtually unchanged. The only thing that happens when he's against a set is he loses an out (the flush card that pairs the board) and he can't backdoor 2 pair or trips to win.
My point being that if he's against Ax it's just about the same as being against a set. If he knows he's getting called, pushing is bad. The idea of pushing a draw is that people might fold. If nobody is going to fold, you really need to work backwards in your head, calculate the pot odds that you'd get if you called all-in (essentially what will happen) and see if the odds are there for you to make the "call." If they're not there, you fold. If they are there, then go ahead, push and gamble it up.
