Important Lesson on Why You Should Never Truly Go Allin

[aujoz]

This is absurd - when is your opponent ever going to allow you to remain on 1 chip?

If they have less chips, it doesn't matter. if they have more chips, they'll make you bet it.

Besides - the pot odds of your last chip are literally thousands to one - if you're folding, you're losing massive amounts of EV, except in weird situations where the payout structure is flat (eg, satellites with multiple entries for a higher tournament) and large numbers of players have already gone all-in.

Not sure if you're joking.

OP, I agree that you should've left yourself with more. But this concept rocks until your opponents catch on. At the pathetic stakes that I play, this is gonna be huge.

TY.

I thought I wasn't, but I was definitely just being very stupid.

Your play would have totally rocked if muchbetter hadn't been such a puss and also called the all-in.

No seriously, it's a good play provided you'll call off your remaining chip if only one of the bigger stacks go all-in.

Curtains - do you remember that hand that someone postd of yours involving a mis-click, and people started debating the value of your bet and the hidden genius of your play, for about two page before you came on and announced it was simply a mis-click.

I guess JesseHam is technically correct, but the times that this -1 chip thing would actually work out for ya is SOOO RARE that it probably doesn't outweight the 1000 other times you have to type in your amount as opposed to bar sliding.

God, did I just really waste this much of my life on this thread?

Do you even understand what happened? He was only going to fold for his last chip if there was a reraise and then another reraise behind him. In this situation his A6 is likely drawing dead, but by folding for his last chip he can sneak into the money.

How is this exploitable by opponents? You are only folding if you get two all-ins behind you, so in order to get you to fold they have to go all-in against an all-in reraiser.

Your play: Brilliant, IMO.
