Learning to use All-In as an Effective Strategy

[eqgh5uea]

Seems like you wanna play bingo rather than poker...

If a player pushes me off the river and turn, than he deserves to get the pot...

All-in-all, my ideal game is pot-limit.

I like to use all in when I know I have best hand and when I know I will get a call.

All in strategy never seems to work for me anyway.

Me neither AryAlton! Besides....I figure when I do have a great hand, it's easier to get $500 from a few people than to get one person to call my all-in!! Just my two cents worth.

With my luck,,, people suck out almost everytime post flop....it really seems that way...

last tourney - i had AK in the sb first hand - all in and call in front. I folded. I woulda lost - ended up coming in 2nd instead.

While I do agree that the all-in can be used as a strategy, I think it should be used sparingly and only in certain situations.

This is my 2 cents, early in a MTT you get dealt A-A and you have 4 callers in front of shoving all in what are you going to do? Hmmmmmmmmmm well I am sure most here are going to reply insta call! No Brainer right?

Ok let's look at this scenario you are sitting at the Main Event at the WSOP and you put up the 10K buy in. What would you do with the same scenario as you see on line?

Good players already realize that they are playing in a tournament that is going to take up at least 4-5 hours of their time. As for WSOP days and months. So are you READY to risk your tournament life right away to chip up quick/and or go out early? Just a thought because I can tell you and some of you here have seen me fold A-A early because I am thinking long term.

One of these days I am going to play a tournament from start to finish by just going all in when I want to play a hand. I've just never had the guts to try it.
