You may not have the best hand now, but your equity in the pot is so large, that it is correct to push it, very important in LHE. On the river, only (1) and (2) of CF's reasoning make sense. draws often have value.

This I do more often OOP. Also, short-handed or heads up i often bet to establish an image, particularly in position. If I can get a guy thinking he is a genius for calling me down with middle pair then I feel I'm gonna make a lotta money from him on later hands.
