Mofo, I'm not saying allin on any good hand, I'm talking someone raising an initial bet to large proportions, but say you are already halfway committed and have a pair of Aces or Kings in hand already.....do you fold or call their bluff and go allin?
I'll go all in, as I have a better chance of winning with a pair in the hand already, ad there is also the chance they'll fold. So I have a better chance of winning.
Winning the most pots is critical, but I know what you mean, there will always be someone with a better hand eventually. The idea is to sniff them out and pull them in slowly so they are committed, but if I bet $100 on a pair of KK's preflop, and they raise it to $300.00, and I have $2,000 on they table, but they have $500, I'll go all in against them to bankrupt them.
I've got a stronger bank, so providing I bide my time and bet hard only when I have an advantage, probabilities say I will have their money.
If I were to go all in every single time I had a strong pair, then sooner or later I have to lose.
It's judgment that also plays a part in the process.
