Yeah I think for me it really depends on the type of players that are at the table I am playing at. Bc some players online will call everything and I would go all in on them. But on others that I knew would call without a big hand, I would just play it out.

If you also had on youre table one and maybe two players who done all-in before you ,you may call it but be aware on the palyers who comes before you cause the chances that you lose are higher with the number of palyers going all-in.
So you would fold an AA if pushed all-in preflop if a few people would call? I dont agree with that at all. Laying down the best hand because its possible you will lose with it is not a good way to play poker. (I could only see myself doing this if I was 1 player away from the money...but i still might not do it)

i personally think that it is dumb to go all in before the flop. i like to see flops. the only way i would go all in before the flop is if i had a good hand and a low chipstack.

I find that going all in depends on who else is at the table. If it has been folded round to you and out of the players left you are the biggest stack by a large margin all in usually works pretty well. It means that only players who have a decent hand, or are suicidal, will go up against you. Also if you do get a call you can be safe in the knowledge that at least you won't go out on that hand!

going all-in preflop, is a useful tool late-game, when you in a tight spot and praying for a miracle hand anyway. with Aces, Its not that necessary, but with snowmen for instance, you dont want the guy to have a chance at bluffing you out after the flop. And you dont want him to fold at your small raise after the flop...
Its gambling, true, but sometimes you will be in a position where a "flip of the coin" is favourable. Going all-in pre-flop in early game, is nuts imo, though I would call with aces, if I was reasonably sure to have only one opponent.

I hardly ever go all in preflop, because even though you have better odds with high pairs or AK its really still 50/50. I like to know i have something before making an all in call. Thats why its hard for me to even call a big raise preflop with a really good starting hand.

Aces require pre flop protection. If I can go all-in preflop and get action with them, I am beyond happy. Whatever the raise, it is critical to get heads-up or 2 players to the flop. At 3and 4 callers, the Aces are competing against too many hands drawing against them. They have difficulty standing up.
Generally, all-in is something you want the other guy doing.

The less agressively you play big hands like A-A and K-K, the more opportunity you give inferior hands to draw out on you. I am not saying to raise all in every time you have pocket Kings or Aces, but you cannot be afraid to do so when you need to. What is more "poker" than taking the best hand in the game and putting another player to a decision for his entire stack?
Like XD stated, some people aren't psychologically equipped to play NL poker. That isn't nessisarily a bad thing, you just may find it easier to play LHE or PLHE in order to eliminate the need to make an all-in decision before the flop (unless you're extremely short stacked in PLHE and the blinds + antes are more than you have left in chips, in which case doubling-up is exactly what you need).

Late in a tournament, all-in play preflop is ery common, especially from the medium and short-sized stacks. The reason players do this, especially late in tournaments is to steal the blinds, which can get ery high relative to their chip stack.
Players who go in with the goods each time are ery easy to read...when they push early in a hand...FOLD.
I understand that many players, especially in freerolls, go all-in with a lot of garbage...call them with good hands and you will win in the long term. Sure you might take a couple of bad beats, but long term you will win a large amount of $$$.

The "all-in" aspect of NL is brilliant when used in the right situations. It does get abused by maniacs though and the game can decend into luck or become extremely sloppy.
If you've played a fair amount of PL or Limit Holdem then you can really appreciate the brilliance of NL and the all-in aspect in terms of the odds and psychological complexity it brings with it. Just my opinion though.

heh???? If you can't call an all in with pocket Aces then there is a wonderful game out there called go fish! I see your point though.... NL is the most popular game but if you are uncomfortable with large single hand wagers there is always LIMIT or POT LIMIT poker.....

this is my theory about all ins. if someone bets all in its because they have the best hand on the board i dont like to chase a flush or even worse a straight when im all in that is a fools game and it is not a part of my strategy anymore. ive learned the hard way!!....large reraises lead to all in bets so bet small and stay in the game.. all in only when u can back it up and let the fools take what they can......they wont be there long anyway.....bad beats are part of the game, folding good cards doesnt cost much if you dont call the big reraises.......aces for everyone and gl

Never go all in if you DON'T want more cards to come out against your hand. Go all in if you definitely have the nutz. Fold if there is a chance showing on the board that you will lose all your chips. You've got to weigh your situation - there's no set rule for going all-in.

All-in can be extremely effective so I wouldnt dismiss it completely. Of course there are times when you have to take it slow to get in the money etc but dont be scared to go for it when you have a good hand. If you are folding good hands cos you are worried about your opponent then you wont be that succesful and you will look weak.
Good luck

the all-in can be a ery ery influental move if made at the right time. if you suspect weakness by your opponent, try and get it all in to push him out. if you hold the nuts try and get it all-in with a call. preflop all-ins can be ery dangerous because of the fact that your hand could flop but it could also come up blanks for you with a monster for him even if you had the big lead.

Unless I HAVE TO I never put all my chips in the middle of the table, I really dont want to risk my future in the game unless im short stacked or have AA, even then i dont really like it.
For example last night in 4th place in a tourney short stacked and ended up 2nd because i resisted the temptation.

I suspect we're just trying to pull our 15 posts here, but if you seriously need to ask a broad question like 'when should I go all-in?', here's some advice. Invest in some sound poker books from proven winners like Doyle Brunson, David Sklansky, Phil Helmuth, Phil Gordon, Tom McEvoy, etc. The internet is also full of poker sites which offer basic strategy for beginners. Here are a few links to get you started. Save them in the "favorites" on your browser for easy reference:

If you are going allin with the best hand, than you are playing good poker. Even if you take a Bad beat, don'tlet it bother you.
If you are taking Bad beats a lot more often than giving out a bad beat, you are playing good poker.

I have found that you can go all in with any 2 cards and win, but other cards have a higher chance of winning the hand, its a hard decision to go all in with 3 6 offsuit but sometimes u can catch that strait!
