In cash games is it always right to push when you know you have the best hand? Like say in a 50c/1$ game you have AA and $90 and raise to $5 and get re-raised to say $20, you know you have the best hand at this point so would it be right to push or to call and see a flop and give yourself a chance to get away from the hand if you think your beat?
This was a really simple example but the reason i ask is that i was losing a lot of big pots by getting all the money in and getting outdrawn with a variety of hands, and people would say "you got your money in ahead, thats all you can do" but i started thinking that if i'd played the hand slower i could have got away from it if the board got scary
I know that theres so many situations but i'm just asking if it is always correct to get all your money in pre-flop/flop if your sure you have the best hand or should you wait to see what the turn and river brings before commiting all your chips
