When To All In Poker?
Table Stakes and All-in – You may have seen a poker scene in a movie or on TV where a player is faced with a bet for more chips than they have at the table, and is forced to wager a watch, a car or some other possession in order to stay in the hand. This may make for good drama, but it is not generally the way poker is played in real life! All games on our site are played ‘table stakes’, meaning only the chips in play at the beginning of each hand can be used during the hand.
The table stakes rule has an application called the ‘All-In’ rule, which states that a player cannot be forced to forfeit a poker hand because the player does not have enough chips to call a bet. A player who does not have enough chips to call a bet is declared All-In. The player is eligible for the portion of the pot up to the point of his final wager.
All further action involving other players takes place in a ‘side pot’, which the All-In player is not eligible to win. If more than one player goes All-In during a hand, there could be more than one side pot. Now you’ve got the rules, what’s stopping you? Download and play!

Why do players go all in in poker?
When To Go All In –
With a great hand while playing against aggressive players, as it’s possible to take away their chips before an opponent claims them instead. Aggressive players don’t like backing down and this mentality can be turned against them.An all-in move on the flop can hold back opponents from limping in to see the turn and river cards. This can protect an early advantage and stop players from hanging on until they do get the cards they need.Going all in can be effective as a bluffing tool, but only against the right players and cards. For example, a modest opponent who rarely takes risks is the perfect target to bluff with an all in move.Every player will eventually face a time when they watch their stack of chips dwindle away. A last stand must be made eventually, but ideally when a good hand presents itself. Holding out for too long can eliminate any chance at staying in the game.
How do you use all in poker?
To go ‘all-in’ in poker means to place all of our remaining chips into the middle of the pot. This can either happen fby making a bet ourselves, or calling a bet from our opponent.

Should I go all in with queens?
Pocket Queens: All-in Undoubtedly, players on shorter stacks in tournaments or even cash games will consider moving all-in with this hand. It offers plenty of value in that situation and has an excellent chance of doubling up – especially if a player has enough chips for some fold equity against marginal hands.

Preflop Mistake #5: Raising Too Wide (or Too Narrow) of a Range on the Button – The button is an highly valuable position in poker. You are guaranteed to act last post-flop from the button, which gives you an informational advantage over your opponents,
You are also able to put pressure on the blinds when action is folded to you, and can often steal dead money in the pot. However, many players tend to either raise too many hands on the button, or to not raise enough. Given that modern poker strategy prescribes aggressive pre-flop play from the blinds, raising too many hands on the button can cause you to be exploitatively 3-bet by players in blinds,
A leak such as this one can slowly but continuously damage your win rate, so be cautious to not over-raise from the button. (Note: This is more of a problem when playing online, as live players are typically less aggressive from the blinds.) Conversely, some players are too tight from the button.
Because of the positional advantage you have on the button, as well as the opportunity to take any dead money that’s in the pot, both opening from the button or 3-betting an original raiser are generally very effective. Failing to capitalize on these circumstances will certainly hurt your win rate. An optimal percentage of hands to raise from the button is probably between 40% and 70%, depending on the tendencies of the players in the blinds.
The looser and more likely to 3-bet the blinds are, the tighter you should open. If the blinds are nits unwilling to play pots, ramp up the aggression and steal that dead money! ”An optimal percentage of hands to raise from the button is probably between 40% and 70%, depending on the tendencies of the players in the blinds.” -Ryan Fee in this article: Click To Tweet

What happens if a player goes all-in?
All-In Poker: The Rules – A poker all-in usually happens in “big bet” games like No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha, All-ins can also happen in games with a limit betting structure, but those examples are much less common. When a player goes all-in, they commit all chips in front of them into the current pot.
The maximum amount a player can go all-in with is the amount of chips they started the hand with. If you start a hand with $200 on the table, then $200 is the most you can put into the pot. You can’t, for example, decide to pull another $100 out of your pocket and add that to the pot when you know you have a strong hand.
Going all-in is commonly referred to as pushing, shoving, or jamming. When you go all-in, get called by one opponent, and win the hand, you double-up, doubling the amount of your chips.

How do you bet all-in?
No-Limit Betting Rules – The term “no-limit” seems simple enough. In any no-limit poker game, players can bet all of their chips at any time. Most no-limit games use a system of blinds and a button, and for more on that system check out the “Blinds, button, and antes” tab above.
For example, let’s say we’re observing a no-limit hold’em cash game, played at $1/$2 stakes. In this example game, six players are seated at the table, each with $200 in chips. The small blind posts $1, and the big blind $2. The cards are dealt, and the player directly to the left of the big blind starts the preflop betting round.
In a no-limit game, this player can bet any amount, up to all of his/her chips. If this player wagers the whole $200, this is known as going all-in. At any time during a hand, any player can go all-in. Note that the maximum amount for an all-in equals the amount of chips in front of a player when the hand starts.
- With $200 in front of you, going all-in means betting $200.
- You can’t, for instance, take another $200 out of your wallet and try to make your all-in bet bigger.
- The no-limit betting structure leads to some of the most dramatic situations you’ll see at a poker table.
- In the late stages of the World Series of Poker Main Event, for example, a player going all-in is putting their tournament life on the line, with millions of dollars at stake.
The following clip illustrates just how quickly the pot can escalate in games with a no-limit betting structure. Watch as Tom Dwan and Paul Phua get all of the money in preflop, with $2.35 million going in the middle:

When should you 3 bet preflop?
What is a 3-bet? – A 3-bet occurs when the original preflop raiser is re-raised by another player. A 4-bet occurs when a 3-bet is re-raised by any player. The reason it is called a 3-bet is that the automatic posting of the blinds is considered the first bet; the second bet (2-bet) is when a player raises the blinds instead of calling them; and the third bet (3-bet) is the re-raising of the 2-bet.3-bet poker statistics take much longer to yield useful data when compared to common poker stats such as VPIP and PFR.

Should you 3 bet AK?
Ace King is simple to play when it folds to you preflop: just raise. But AK becomes so much trickier when someone else raises before you. Should you call their raise? Should you 3bet? Should you do a bit of both? The answer isn’t always super clear. The truth is that the answer of “should I call or 3bet with Ace King” relies on a number of key variables.
- So let’s discuss those variables, among other concepts, by answering this question: AK plays well as a 3bet preflop in many spots, but flatting also keeps in many dominated hands that might fold to the 3bet (e.g., AJ, AT, KQ, KT, etc.).
- When do you think the benefit of keeping in the dominated hands is outweighed by the value of 3betting? -David M.
AK often makes a good 3bet, but this does not guarantee that it should always be 3bet. It is generally considered correct to 3bet AK against late-position (LP) opens – and to flat AK against early position (EP) and middle position (MP) opens. This is a good starting point, but as always, there are multiple variables involved. Consider the following:
The larger the size of our opponent’s open-raise, the less inclined we should be to 3bet AK. We should 3bet more aggressively against small open-raises. The deeper the effective stacks, the less inclined we should be to 3bet AKo out of position. We can 3bet AK more often against earlier positions when the effective stacks are shallow. 3betting in-position (IP) against EP and MP opens can be exploitatively best against opponents with a low 4bet frequency.
All of these statements are based on basic poker principles, many of which are commonly misapplied. Take some time to think about the reasons for the above principles and whether you agree with them or not. Start by taking just one of the statements and exploring it in more depth:
3betting in-position (IP) against EP and MP opens can be exploitatively best against opponents with a low 4bet frequency.
Basic game theory approximations (note: approximations, not proofs) can be made to support the idea that it is not correct to 3bet AKo against an early or middle position open. Without getting too technical, the hand just is not quite strong enough. We will struggle to continue against a 4bet from our opponent and we generally do not want to be getting it all-in preflop with AK against opponents in EP and MP for 100bb effective stacks.
Our opponent is playing a “4bet-or-fold” strategy We do not plan on continuing against a 4bet
The value of the hand means almost nothing in such a scenario since our equity will never be realized. Many players refer to this as “turning AK into a bluff”, But none of this guarantees that flatting is exploitatively best. In fact, there are a number of problems with flatting AKo in MP facing an open-raise from EP. Even though we may not end up as a favorite against our opponent’s continuing range, 3betting has a number of advantages:
We are much more likely to play AKo heads up resulting in better playability We generate fold equity preflop We still have very good equity when called, even if we end up being a small dog Most players do not punish us anywhere close to enough with 4bets
To illustrate this last point, an expert winning short-handed player will typically have a 4bet range of 4-5%. The average poker player has a 4bet range of closer to 2-3%. This means a couple of great things for us:
We will rarely get 4bet off of our holding. If villain does 4bet, he probably has AA/KK anyway and we can dodge a bullet.
Having said all of that, given a big advantage of the play is avoiding unnecessary action behind, we should understand that the later our own position, the less importance 3betting carries, The extreme example is in the big blind. It should hardly ever be necessary to 3bet AK from the BB against an EP or MP open unless we know our opponent has significant leaks such as calling 3bets and/or opening too wide. Now getting back to David’s original question, and expanding on what we have already discussed throughout guide, there is an important concept to consider here. Players who open-raise and then fold to 3bets with hands like AJ and KQ can find themselves folding far too often against 3bets, Even though your AK does block combos of their AJ and KT, consider the following:
If they open-raise 22+/AJ+/KQ and fold everything but TT+/AK to your 3bet, they are folding 72% of the time, If they open-raise 22+/ATB/54s+/75s+ and fold everything but 88+/AQ+ to your 3bet, they are folding 77% of the time,
When you find players who are folding more than 70% of the time when you 3bet, you should be actively seeking spots to attack their open-raises. That being said, there is a benefit to calling their preflop raise and keeping all of their dominated hands involved. But consider these points:
When you 3bet and they fold AJ, they relinquish ALL of that hand’s equity When you call, you allow AJ to realize some, to all, of its equity. The more passively and showdown value-heavy you play postflop, the more equity their AJ is going to realize
You should also ask yourself these questions:
What is the estimated value when you call the preflop raise and you both flop top pair? What is your plan when you call the preflop raise, miss the flop, and face pressure? If you are going to play most flops fit-or-fold after calling, was calling preflop really best? If you 3bet preflop and your opponent calls, what is your flop plan both when you hit and miss?
Remember, the real question is not “what should I do with AK when facing an open-raise?” The better question is “what variables should I focus on to create a proper range in these situations?” Once you refocus on that, you will know what to do here not just with AK – but with hands like AQ, AJ, KQ, etc.

How often should you fold preflop?
When to Fold Before the Flop – In Texas Hold’em, the best poker players fold 75 percent or more of all starting hands before the betting even begins. A fundamentally sound preflop strategy sets you up for success in all subsequent betting rounds. Even the loosest preflop players (if they’re winning players) fold before the flop around 70 percent of the time.
- To figure out when to fold before the flop, you need to establish a set of hand ranges that you’re willing to play from each position at the poker table.
- Hand range charts (like the Upswing Poker free preflop charts ) represent the best way to establish a solid preflop strategy.
- Preflop hand range charts dictate what hands to open raise with from each position, as well as which hands to call or raise with against a player who has bet before you get to act.
A good starting hand chart will have you doing a lot of folding preflop. A good preflop strategy involves playing tighter in early position, then adding more starting hands to your range in the later positions. Premium hands, like pocket aces, kings, queens, and ace-king, can be open raised from any position.

Should you 4 bet Queens?
Against a 3-Bet – Pocket Queens is a mandatory 4-bet for value in most scenarios. However, there are times where you may want to mix in calls at least some of the time. Consider just calling with Pocket Queens when you open from Early Position or Middle Position and face a 3-bet from one of the blinds.
You are not as incentivized to 4-bet in such a spot because, at equilibrium, your opponent’s range is very polarized and strong, Against a tight and polarized range, Pocket Queens is not a super clear cut 4-bet for value. Additionally, you will realize more equity since you’ll be in position postflop.
This further incentivizes calling rather than 4-betting.

Should I call all in with KK?
Is it correct to go all-in when you have KK? Well, I’d have to say “it depends”. If you are going against AA then you are a 4 to 1 dog. Not a good situation. If you are playing against a super-rock (TAG) then it might be a fair bet that their super-aggressive play is advertising AA.
However, those players are fairly rare and the average TAG is capable of going over the top with AKs, in which case you are a major favorite (~2 to 1). This is especially true, IME, in tournament play. In fact, the only hand you fear is AA – at least heads-up pre-flop. AA vs KK is pretty rare. If you have other players in the hand, you want to push them out, so going all in is a good strategy.
You don’t want to go all in with KK (or even AA for that matter) against 2 or more players – ever – if you can help it. You also should consider your own table image. Have you been playing a bit loose, making it seem reasonable that another player could push you around with a marginal hand? If so, then pound with KK – you’re very likely the overwhelming favorite.
So, unless you have a good analytic reason to believe that your opponent has AA, then go all in. You’ll very likely have the best of it. But, if you find that you’re just “wondering” if they have AA, then you’re likely just playing scared. Playing scared is infinitely worse then making an occasionally bad push against AA.
Remember, poker is played over the long haul. Just because your KK gets snapped off by an unexpected AA doesn’t mean it’s a bad play. Just like your AA gets snapped by the frisky idiot playing J4os – that’s just poker. However, over time, getting your money in with the best of it more often than not will yield positive results.

How often should you raise in poker?
When participating in Poker betting at the 188BET, you need to know when to raise is reasonable to save capital, as well as have the most effective raises. Knowing how many times you can raise in a poker game will help you optimize your profits and cut your losses in time. Read the following article shared by 188BET experts. 
Reasons that you should Raise in 188BET Poker Consider whether we will put more money into the pot when everyone in front has folded, or we are in UTG position. You know that when you play first, your hand is at a huge information disadvantage and you always have to act before each round. 
What we all do with a pre-flop poker hand is for our own purposes, so when you raise you have a clearer reason. When you ask most people why they raise, their answer will have to do with what kind of hand they are holding. Raise how much is good? – Raise Size in Poker on 188BET Different raise size will change the situation on two aspects: ● Folding frequency ● Postflop expectation Theoretically, the opponent will fold more with a big open-raise and fold less with a small open-raise. 
In fact, players often don’t adjust their raise range for each situation. For example, a lot of players almost always fold hands like Q♠7♠ in BB regardless of who is open-raised and where they come from, raised big or small. If you’re facing opponents who don’t adjust their range while sitting in the blind regardless of bet size, a small steal raise is more than enough.
How Many Times Can You Raise in Poker? Raise how many times in a game of Poker does not completely have a specific limit, but it relies on many other factors for you to raise effectively. Usually, you can raise 3 to 4 times during a Poker match. You can raise more to be sure of your goal but remember that the bigger you raise, the more pressure you are putting on your own hand, the more you have to win.
Take advantage of min-raises Basic play with 2 to 2.5x the big blinds and only increase the pot with the smallest bet. Today you will find min-raise play heavily used in both Poker tour tournaments and cash play. Inexperienced players are often used to 3-4 big blinds to play on small hands and end the game early.
But if they combine playing the flop and can hide their good hands with a min-raise strategy, the odds of winning will be higher, and the raise more reasonable. World champion Martin Jacobson made full use of min-raise play to gradually become the person with the largest number of chips, leading to the final victory at the tournament.
Raise and Valuation When you raise it’s clear you want to get your opponent to consider whether he should continue playing or fold. If you limp in a pot and someone calls and you face a reraise from the next person then he can almost reraise with any hand.
But if you are the opener and have a similar call and reraise situation you can be sure that your opponent has a strong hand because you opened the pot in the first place. If he wanted to reraise you then he must. There’s usually a strong hand here. Good poker players will rarely reraise a person from the top with small hands, which will usually be monster hands.
Therefore, when you want to continue raising, the advice from 188BET gambling experts is that you should consider and evaluate carefully. Conclusion from 188BET experts So you already know how many times you can Raise and raise when participating in Poker on 188BET gambling online from 88betpro.net to achieve optimal results.

Most popular games today have 9-10 players, and where the players are situated around the table is important. The dealer button is the most advantageous position to be in. Every other player’s position is relative to the button. With each betting round, the button moves around the table and the other positions shift with it.
The button is the last position to act, and the advantage is that he can see what all the other players have decided to do – bet, call, raise, or fold – before he must make a decision. For example, say you’re the button and you aren’t holding anything significant. Someone at the table makes a big raise before betting gets to you.
It’s likely that the person who raised has a better hand, so it’s wise to fold on this hand and risk nothing. On the other hand, if you have a pair of queens and no one has made a significant raise, you might have the best hand at the table. The only player actions you can’t judge are the mandatory bettors, the small and big blinds.
In a late betting position like the button, you can watch the other players and gauge how much confidence they have in their hands. A quick, significant raise indicates confidence – or a good bluff – and a hesitant, small raise or call may indicate either inexperience or a so-so hand. Remember that actions will also give you away to other players.
The button has more time to make a decision, and as a result, less pressure. All the betting action starts with the small blind position on the button’s immediate left. Regardless of the cards he’s holding, he must place the first bet in pre-flop betting rounds, usually half of what the big blind must bet; we’ll get to the big blind in a minute.
This means that even if the small blind has the worst possible cards, he’s got to put something in the pot, usually half the amount of a full bet. But if his hand is bad, he can fold without risking more when the play comes back around. Small and big blinds are also late positions, and have an advantage.
The big blind is the position next to the small blind. He must make a full bet, regardless of his cards, but he’s still in a better position when the play comes back around. Being in one of these positions – button, small blind or big blind – gives you the best opportunity to bluff.
If the table is hesitant to bet and making small raises at best, a big raise might scare everyone else into folding, leaving you to rake in the pot. The early positions are in the worst position from an intelligence point of view. The small and big blinds must bet, so you know nothing about what they may hold.
The only information you have is what’s in your hand. If you decide to bluff, do it with style and confidence. Make a substantial raise quickly to make the other players think you’ve got something in your hand. If you’ve got great cards, fake out the late positions by hesitating and making a weak bet to try to get a raise from the other players.
- Remember that poker is all about psychology.
- Being able to convince the other players you’re weak when you’re strong or strong when you’re weak is money in the bank.
- The middle positions are difficult to work from.
- You have a little information to work with, but not enough to make an informed decision.
Play it the same way as the early positions. You can still bluff, but you’re at a distinct bluff disadvantage unless the early players fold. In the middle position, play it safe or make it big. Share & Connect
