I have a problem with the hand he doubled through with late in the match - stacks were 2195 vs 805, you min raised the button at 25/50 blinds, with the comment that you would definitely call a shove in that spot.... You were pretty much in control of the match at that point, and your opponent clearly was leaking chips in some spots, I wonder why you would choose to gamble here when the best situation you are going to be in is a coin flip (as in the game), but you could easily be in big trouble (vs KJ for ex).

I probably was factoring in a lot of fold equity, meaning it's overall a pretty profitable play, even if I'm behind when I am called.
An extreme example would be if you were 15bb deep and you knew your opponent only called an AIPF with AA or KK and you held 27o. It would be a very profitable shove preflop but you would be in bad shape when he called, which would be rare.
It's also possible that I was incorrect in the hand, but usually when I am asked this people tend to forget or don't consider fully the amount of fold equity in the hand.
