I think in most of the time is a mistake, because your wins is going to reduce and your loose in regarding the ev chipI've been doing that and getting killed on the river with donks risking all their chips on a draw and they never miss against me. Is it bad to put all your chips in when you are ahead? It's in my head because it just doesn't matter by the end they win. Tonight in cash game $1/$2 I have about $240 in front of me I get ace jack raise $12 preflop get 2 callers I flop a jack. I bet $40 one of them pushes all in with $92, he never showed he claimed he had a set but I don't know if that's true or not. Even if he did I'm going to come out ahead as long as the other one doesn't hit he has us both covered it was $92 to the low stack then another $143 was the rest of mine he calls with ace 5 of spades there's two spades on the flop. He doesn't even get a flush through there's a 4 on the flop the turn is a 3 and the river is a 2 giving him a straight.
Should I have played it differently? It happened to me last Sunday too in a tournament I have Ace King flop a King go all in someone calls with a flush draw all his chips and he had a good stack and so did I and hits on the river risks all his chips if he doesn't hit that card he's gone but of course he does hit. It's almost like they know they're going to hit against me.
I'm not even scratching the surface it's happening every time I play. It makes me hate poker. I really feel like I'm cursed sometimes. My cards never hold up. But maybe it's just a mistake to try to get them to fold and risk all my chips doing it? I don't know anymore. I'm usually have the best cards on an all in but I usually lose. I know there's randomness but you'd think sometimes my cards would hold up without them hitting a flush or straight which isn't supposed to happen that often.
I realize there's always a possibility that I went all in with top pair but my opponent hit two pairs or a set but that's not really what I'm asking. What I'm asking is should I assume my opponents will suck out and hit on the turn or river when I'm ahead and they're behind? Because it seems like they usually do.
