It's not math, but the results of a computer program which uses certain assumptions. For example, the software would underestimate how strong the ace is, because it doesn't consider blocker value and assume that everyone is calling correctly. The ace plays better if some amateur decides to call with KJ or whatever.
In any case, if the software says it is a push, I don't see how you can make adjustments which will show the push is a really BAD play.
From my experience, people tend to over value the mincash in this situation and call tighter, so I would push lighter than the software recommends. If you want a professional answer, you should not get freaked out over the mincash and look at long term expected profit.
OP also posted this in SSMTT, where he got better answers. MTTSNG players are used to making decisions like this many times an hour without huge amounts of money on the line while playing 15 other tables and will make the long term profitable decision rather than an emotional decision.
