I just called originally because most of the pots were being
raised pre-flop, sorry forgot to mention, and thank you for the advice,
starting to read game theory and watching those videos. If I'm trying to
get a better grasp of EV, reading ranges and poker mathematics would
you be able to recommend any specific title(s)?

I didn't consider the shallow stack factor, usually when I'm dealt a
big hand my eyes gloss over green and I'm trying to figure out how to
get the most money. Of course in the process I forget to consider
factors such as these, something i need to work on.

I tell them that It's not simply gambling, its poker. But with this
type of play style I'm effectively just gambling my stack without
learning more about the game. I don't want to be a better gambler, I
want to be a better poker player. I'll try to avoid putting myself in
this type of all-in scenario again unless I'm more confident in my hand
against that of my opponents.

Hello all,
I'm new to posting and forums, not so new to the game. I've been playing poker for several years now and I can confidently say not profitably. I'm really trying to take my game seriously now with school coming to an end, but I feel like that learning curve hast kicked in yet, even though I feel I'm now playing the best game of my life so far. I usually end up losing my stacks in coin flips and I can't see the error of my ways.
I'm starting off with .25/.50 NL online now and I play live for 1/2 at the Casinos.
I love the game and the competition but I know that money is the ultimate goal. I thoroughly enjoy the game and if i had sustained monetary success I know I would enjoy it that much more.
I'm reading a lot of posts on here and learning but what I'm really asking is how do I get a better edge than just putting my chips in with a 50% chance.
A recent example would be:
Stradle (4$)
UTG(calls)
(Stack180$)Hero (A,K off) calls
UTG+2 folds
UTG+3 folds
(stack700+)UTG+4 raises to 20$
utg+5 folds
utg+6 folds
SB folds
BBfolds
Stradle calls 20$
UTG calls 20$
Hero Raises all in for 180
UTG+4 raises all in
Stradle folds
UTGfolds
He showed pocket tens and the AK never connected. My logic here was that I didn't want to get outplayed post flop by the big stack (who could have had the same hand or worse) and the other two were calling stations and so would fold. There was 68$ already in the pot and I felt like I could have taken it down there. ANy ADvice?
Thank you! already watched a couple videos and subbed. I'm currently going through a mental rewiring of all the things I knew about poker, and EVERYTHING that I did not.
