All in best hand on the flop vs vilain everytime?

Postby AceRider » Thu Dec 15, 2011 6:37 am GMT

This is a question that lately irritates me.

Suppose you have the nuts or a good hand on the flop but ofc there are draws. When i mean the nuts/goodhand i mean like set or a straight or even top two pairs with no draws. Is it a correct decision to go all in knowing that a particular opponent you are playing up against will likely call you on a flush/straight draw or two pair even if you go all in?

I am just trying to understand how to avoid getting bat beat or avoid loosing money since vilain will most likely go for the draw either we bet/raise or go all in regardless of the size of the pot.
In the long run this will obv make you money so it is the correct move every time against him right?

Although um up in the money i think the variance has hit me pretty hard lately with brutality...

You've pretty much answered your own question.

A bad beat is when you have the best hand and lose. Lets pretend you have an 80% chance of winning the pot and someone calls your all-in and gets lucky - if you played that hand again, what would you do differently? The answer should be nothing!

Put it another way - If the hand was played exactly the same way 100 times, who cares if the other guy wins 20 of them, cause you will win the other 80. These are the types of guys you want to play against.

When they get lucky - tell them they played the hand well and hope they hang around a few more hours. You will make more money out of them in the long run.

Bad beats do us all over at sometime or other. You just need to keep reminding yourself that you actually played the hand the correct way & not start chasing your losses.
