I never know until I'm sitting in the position. There's times I'm allin and other times I want to see the flop. Just can't feel comfortable until I know there's no A out there. Guess that's you should just go for it like most of the Mobsters say.

You really have to make a calcualtion as to where you are sitting, who you are playing against, what the odds are and whether you feel lucky. In most cases all in will scare some away and draw in others and you just have to hope the 244-1 chance someone has AA or that at A doesnt come along to pair up Ax.

Just remember the Donk Gods are out there watching every hand, and when they see KK go allin they make 63 not suited call, and of course he gets his straight..
