When we have a really good and very strong hand, or when we don't have enough and we don't want the opponent to have a chance to win either. In the latter case the all-in is a bluff.

Depends a lot buddy.

Depends if it's a tourney or a cash game.

Usually at a tourney I could go all in knowing that villain's plays really tight and I'll go AI as a bluff.

Cash games I only tend to shove when I have the nuts.

But it varies.

If I play into cash poker, I rarely go all-in preflop, but I will gladly support all-in with AA

I go all-in, with premium hands preflop if I have less than 20bb, if I have an aggressive loss on the table. but normally I play tighter and in position looking for good spots

Since I only play MTT when the stack is less than 10BB and a good and very strong hand, as well as at the end of the table.

usually when I have short stack less than 10BB and if I have pocket pair I go all in. Sometimes its easy to do when you short stacked, you have not so much to lose

In cash games, going all-in should generally only be done when you have a very strong hand, often referred to as "the nuts." This is because in cash games, unlike tournament play, the goal is to maximize long-term profits rather than trying to build a big stack quickly. Going all-in with a weaker hand can be a costly mistake, as you risk losing your entire stack. bluffing and putting pressure on opponents are also not as effective in cash games, as players can simply fold and wait for a better hand. Therefore, it is generally best to only go all-in with the nuts or a very strong hand in cash games.

When I have an unbeatable hand and there is no possibility to appear something better! Or when I have a very good hand and my stack is much bigger than the other players. Or simply when the situation allows this because of my cards and my inspiration!

Rarely. In cash games, sincerely, in most of the times i call for the raise even with Aces. Otherwise, it s like i m showing my cards or expecting for a low value return. If in tournament, depends how far i managed to climb or how low my chips are, taking the oportunity with a low pair or an Ace high.

In what situations do you go all-in in cash games? When do you sometimes bluff or do you want to put pressure on your opponent? Or is it really only when you got absolute nuts?
I only go all-in when I have a flush or a full house or a straight or four of a kind or a straight flush or a royal flush mostly on the flop.

I go all-in most of times on the turn-river. If I have decent information about my opponent that he could fold best hands when I’m bluffing or could call with dominated hands when I’m betting/shoving for value.
It is kinda risk trying to bluff players we don’t have any information about what they could do.
And yes, in cash games we are going all-in either with absolute nuts or with our missed draws. But bluffing like this demands you have decent information about your villain, cause players will call a jam on coordinated and connected river having top pair, second pair and sometimes even with busted AK that have lost everything and refuses to believe it is losing.

Using all in, it is necessary to profit from this action at a distance. This is required for any gaming decisions, but in this case it is critically important, because we are talking about large amounts.

All-in as a bluff is an effective but very risky technique in poker:
Successful result
The player will be able to pick up a large bank (for the sake of a smaller one and should not go all-in) without opening.
Failure The participant will receive an opponent's call and is likely to lose.

when I got a 3-bet raise and I have a pair of aces or nuts, I'll always push all-lin

All the above +
Whenever I got nothing to lose.
Steal the blinds from inactive players.
Steal the blinds from passive players.
1st hand of the MTT.
Too tired of playing the slow game.... Just to name the personal top 5.
