Topic: Is it correct to be ahead when you put all your money in the pot? Forum: Card Chat

As far as the skill part. I have said this before but here goes to explain the skill of a randomized situations or game like poker. First of all, if you are all-in the skill is 90% gone. The only skill is knowing if you are ahead when you make the call. You are going to see all 5 cards no matter what so there is no reraise, bluff, slowplay, aluebet etc. to show any skill.

You and I play heads up for 1 million hands (about 1 hr online right, ha ha). In that time we should each get the same number of hands that are flushes, straights, top pair, A high down to 72 starting hands. The skill is the betting. Do you get that last bet when you hold the nuts. Do you fold when you know I have you beat. That is all skill/knowledge/practice/experience etc.

You need to say what you consider ahead. Is your 99 really that much of a favorite against any 2 overcards. Mostly those are called coinflips and I try to stay away from them as much as possible. Do a coin flip 5 times and see how many times you get all 5 right (1 in 32). You do five coinflips for your tournament life you will only the sunshine at the other end 1 in 32 tournaments. Eventually you have to do those types of hands but the fewer you face for you life the better. I don't like to overbet the blinds or risk alot of chips preflop. I would like my skill to come into play and that can only happen after the flop.
