How offten should we play a hand on a live table

[magIcpIcks]

I've always played online texas holdem i love the game alot .. For the first time i went to a casino and played a live texas holdem buy ins where 50$ for 50 chips or a 100$ for a 100 chips . now honestly i have never played live poker in my life ever . i went in i played over 300 hands everyone at the table where bugging me making fun of me because i kept playing hands after hands even when i knew i had nothing on the table . i wasnt trying to be rude and scam anyone just love playing . sure enough ive won 90% percent of the hands played .. everyone kept saying you cant play or win all your hands well i did a side bet on his own hands to prove i could win and sure enough i won i started out as 100 buy in the end of the night i played 8 hrs with alot of ppl coming and going i left with a very good cash amount .. but honestly did i do something wrong to play every hand i was dealt? i love the game and sure wouldnt want to miss out on the big win when i bought in i thought its only a game i like it so if i did lose i would come back again because i like it not because im in it for anyone money i just love it .. so like my question is .. is it wrong for a player to play every hand dealt? does it make me look bad.. some of the people stopped playing because i kept winning their chips and never folding..

It's not wrong at all from the point of view of what people think of you it's just that in the long run, if you were to play every hand, or 90% of hands dealt to you, it would be just about impossible to make a profit.

Sure, you'd have sessions where most hands won, but you'd have way more sessions where most hands lost.

Good players will adjust to your playing style, If your in most hands they know you can’t be playing premium cards, so they will open and raise more with their premium hands, this means on average the good hands will win more money from you. If the players aren’t adjusting stay with your winning ways.

I've got a brother who played more or less every hand because he didn't know any better. He hit some hands at first, which was unfortunate for him, because it made him delude himself that his strategy could actually work long term. He's learned his lesson now as he's been busted up pretty badly when the cards haven't been hitting.

It sounds to me like you had one hell of a run if you played that many hands and truly did win that high a percentage. My first instinct on reading your post was to put a big fat BS as my response. However, anything is possible. There's nothing wrong with playing most hands if you're hitting and winning. If you're on a hot streak, ride it out as long as you can. However, don't think that this is going to be an every time out experience. I've had nights where I couldn't lose no matter what two cards I was dealt, but only a very few and I've been playing for years. The longer you play, the more you will realize that the odds of being profitable with this style of play are very low. The cards are not always going to go your way.

P.S. Ignore others at the table who criticize your play. Play your game your way and learn from your wins and your losses. Odds are those guys were pretty jealous that you were playing the way you were and you were winning. It doesn't happen that often.
