As someone said earlier, you really only see seasoned players going All-In when they are short stacked. I absolutely agree with that comment. The more I play, when I see someone go All-In with a decent stack relative to the average table stack size, I see this as a tell. If I am holding top pair with a decent kicker, I figure I am in good shape and call.
The seasoned player, once they get good cards is more concerned with getting the most moeny in the pot, they won't take a chance of going 'All-In' for fear that they will scare you out of the hand...that's why I am more concerned with the smooth call.
I mean if you have a Full House, why would you go All-In against someone when a 3 or 4 to a flush is on the board? Why not let your opponent go All-In and sweep up the chips... |
