You can do what you want with this information. Flame it if you want, or you can use it and think about it.... I play and try to never go all in unless it is the way to get the most chips out of the hand.... Ex raises and re raises..bc if you think about it really.. If you play the hand through and end up all in then you really did the same purpose.. Now this isn't everytime obv... I am talking more like early stages in a tournament. I find myself going deep in many tournaments using this strategy.. take it or leave it... I laydown trips sometimes just depends how I am running and feeling...
Some truth in what you are saying - there are spots for all-ins and big raises though, too.
I rarely open shove anything either ...
- but if you have notes on your opponents and know their shoving range calling their all-ins can be your chance to get a blast, imo.
-It depends on the opponent - is he able to fold against a raise, why should I shove ?
-If he's a calling station vs raises but folds to a shove easily and I have the nuts I'd rather lure him into paying me off.
-If he's very aggro he'll pay you off, anyway.
In the games I got deep today I played between (12 and 20 %) of all
hands
I think I open shoved 4 or 5 hands altogether, but I called more having some knowledge about opponents shoving range and taking them out.
Btw if your strategy works well why change it too much... ?
