I have a question cardschat family, would like to help me I appreciate it. When I finish a game and I'm analyzing historic handshake, then realize that the third round of betting I'm the favorite to win the hand, with 80% and the two villains who are on hand to me have 10% and 10% and one of them wins, because its 10% to beat this game, I realized that my hand was were the best all-in after hitting his letters I wonder if every time you look at a hand and I'm the favorite I'm playing right?

Yes you are playing good absolutely when you get your money in against two opponents and still being 80 percent favorite to win the hand. You are getting such juicy odds, as fletch said get as much no matter which round of betting it is, first, second or third - doesn't matter if you get such good odds then get your chips in.:icon_sunn

depends on the site you are playing.

If its pokerstars then you will win the pot 8 times out of 10
On Ipoker you will only win 4 times out of 10

Only kidding, occasionaly you will get unlucky but in the long run it will be like printing money:)

You are always playing right if you get the money in when you are favourite

Thanks to those who responded. Then, after the session, when I was analyzing the game, I saw that when hit the third round Was I favorite; against two villains. I had 80% chance of winning, they had 10% each , one was all-in.; I paid because I felt I was ahead. I want to know , every time I'm in front, I send bullet, put my chips in the middle, I'll be playing right?

This is what poker is all about basicly.

Getting the right odds and bet according to that.

80% winning chance means you can bet as much as you like.

pot odds against your bet will always be in your favour.

Make sure that no one gets to see the next card to cheap be aggressive.

As you said one of the 10% actually win the hand thats what happens in the long run you will win playing aggressive with 80% winning chance.

Cannot understand all this, but of course the answer to the post's title is NO, NOT AT ALL.

ya pokers a long run game, it's all about getting your money in with the best of it, and over the course of thousands upon thousands of hands you'll see the results. Keep making good solid decisions, don't worry about the outcome of your results.

What about Tournament play for instance lets say you continually make it deep in mtt's but always come up just short of making decent payoffs when you get sucked out or out drawn on while your holding the better hand?

I understand it now.

Yes, youre doing it right when your ahead/way ahead and put all the money on the table.

In the long run, you will surely have a + result.

Apologies for the confusion of the header, the writing looked like it had meaning, if it were possible would edit, but I think is not possible. I tried to make myself better understood with this third post, my language is Portuguese, not English domino. but I believe it will improve with time. Basically my question was; 80% vs 10% behest bullet put my money in the pot? The answers here in this post and reading that article I: Yes but I think you do that in the second round is bad, I better do the third to the fourth, it is safer. If he wins, he played poorly, I read all respotas, thanks to all who are responding.

Not necessarily true at all...this is results oriented thinking.

I'll give you an example.....

Lets say I am out of position in a HU 6.5 BB pot and flop a set 300bb(effective)deep against one villain (the raiser) who fires at a A72 flop with two of a suit. I proceed to CRAI, and he calls with a big ace putting us mistakingly on a flush draw or worse ace or whatever.

We get it all in here as a massive favorite, but quite obviously on that board a CRAI is not the optimal raise against the range of our opponent.

Just because we encounter a great result, that does not have any bearing on whether our play was OPTIMAL or we even played WELL.

whilst you ould say yes you played it right that ignores everything else.....you may have a complete trash hand that you should have folded pre , folded the flop and luckboxed a really strong hand on the turn to give you 80% equity. In that situation yeah, shove with your 80% but theres no way that you played the hand right to get into that situation in the first place

The initial question seems to ignore that there are situations where it's correct to get it in without being the favorite. Examples include calling when the pot odds warrant and betting when you have enough fold equity to make you +EV
