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.

Hi CP,
I think you're quoting me out of context here. In the paragraph you quoted I was actually agreeing with you, just putting it in different words.
The example you have with a pair of Kings is easy. You've got the best hand 95+% of the time here so of course you go all in. All I'm saying is that sometimes you can have much lower holdings that KK and still be in a dominant position depending on your reads.
I don't like to be too contradictory and so I hope you don't mind me pulling you up on one point. That is that winning the most pots definately is not critical. Winning the most money definately is.
Good luck at the tables!
