My tournament game is skilled I find... I have the best hand very often... My bluff are good and goes through often... I'm getting value...
I'm crushing these 30$ sng. I get a ahead in chips most of the time, building a stack, very discipline, good decisions....
Then, all my hard works goes down the drain.
Is it a leak that I call with the best hand? I'm not joking. This is a real question.
This is the way I usually lose, that's the number 1 thing that makes me lose the most often.
Here what's usually happen. I have tons of reads. I have tons of notes. I assigned a player type to most of everyone.
Then I'm going to do my 2x or 2x something or 3x open, and somebody shoves on me. Then I'm like alright, checking their frequency of all-in, checking their past hands what they showed in all-in, just getting a overall feel of the player, and I'm like alright! I got the best hand here most of the time.
I really do, my 77 my 10 10, my JJ, my KK, my AK, my AQ, my A7 or worse, whatever I consider to be the best hand; when I think my hand is good it's actually good like 80% of the time... on what they show me preflop. And then, I'm **** scared of the flop, and I lose, they flop something with the worst hand, and I lose all my hard earned chips.
Most of the time I think, well, I had the best hand, can't feel bad about it, right? No. No. I feel bad about it. I'm thinking that I should fold the best hand preflop.
So yeah. I want all your insights. When is it okay to call an all in with the best of it, considering that the best of it is fluctuating around 54% ahead 60% ahead, 75% ahead, 80% ahead...
I truly, honestly, feel that Im losing all my edge as a player when the all in goes, there's so much blinds in there, I got the best hand yeah but like... still a lot of cards I dont want to see... I just want to fold, I want somebody that tell me when its okay to fold the perceived best hand to an all in and I want somebody to tell me, alright, in this spot, you called an all in with the best hand, and it's ok to lose there.
