You were eating them alive with those hands !!! Only the first hand I can see the person calling you down. The second one guy was just trying asking for it going all in with 10-J offsuit preflop. The last one I am folding pocket 8s all day long there, on the river how does he make that call with hardly nothing in the pot ? So my question to you is what kind of bait are you using to attract the fish ??

The only thing worst than getting a bad beat is getting outplayed...

The first all-in $13 into a $4 pot.
The second its the guy from the first hand obviously he is on tilt, so when he raised preflop I was almost sure he would call my all-in.
The third all-in is in a $1.35 pot LoL.
When u go all-in like that its a lot more tempting to some people, and they will call it, instead of making a value bet they would probabily fold to.

Its the old saying........ Betting big = weakness & Betting small = strength

Some people see a big bet and think, "hmmmmm he must be weak, otherwise why would he bet so much"? "He wouldnt try and scare me off the pot if he had the best hand"?.

Thats the exact reason why betting big vs. the fish is profitable. They will usually call. You just have to be careful because every once in a while they will bust you. Like that 10-Jo almost did by nearly catching the str8, two-pair, or trips. As long as you can deal with the occasional loss of alot of chips and just chalk it up as part of the game then you'll be OK. And on the other side, I have taken down decent size pots with just a minimum bet. People think, "Value bet" and assume I'm just trying to extract more chips from their stack. When in fact I have nothing.
