Often you will have doubts about a Hold'em hand as it progresses from the flop and into the turn and river, and it becomes apparent that you won't win the hand you're playing.
All is not lost, however. Depending upon your position, the number of players left in the hand, who the players are, and what the flop is, you can sometimes, but not that often, influence the outcome of the hand.
An ideal situation would be if you were to see the turn card with two other players, one a drinking player who plays badly, and the other an older, conservative player who doesn't take chances. The turn card comes and you're sure you can't win the hand. When the loose player bets, you raise, even though your hand doesn't warrant it. This makes the tight player call two big bets on the turn and in all probability, he'll muck his cards unless he has a really great hand. The bad player then wins the hand on the river.
The reason this helps you is that you can get that money back from the bad player. The tight player who wins a big pot is more likely to hold on to the money and not lose it back nearly as fast as any other player at the table (beside yourself, of course).
If you must lose a hand, you should not mind losing to any one of the players that you would like to play against (mentioned earlier). When you lose a pot to a player who is not as good a player as you are, you should consider that money to be just a temporary loan. It may take an hour, a day or a week, but your superior play will get that money back in the long run.
In addition to this list of players, the three types of players that you shouldn't mind losing a pot to once in a while are:

You should usually not try to create a side pot if you think you might not have the first or second best hand in the game.
• The first and second best hands will win the main pot and the side pot and if that's not you then you're just wasting your money. If you create a side pot when you didn't have to, and then you miss your hand, you'll usually have to bluff at the side pot and if you win that, you'll still have to show your
jj hand to the guy who went all-in for the main pot. Remember, since he probably chose to go all-in on this hand, he probably has a better hand than average himself.
5. You Will Win More Hands than Average
When you do choose to go all-in, typically, you will have chosen a better hand than average to play and, more importantly, you will get to play the hand all the way to the end without having to fold. An excellent example would be if you had Tv T* in the pocket and the flop was J* 6* 5* and there was a bet and two raises. You would certainly throw away your hand because there are so many reasonable hands that could beat you, given the bet and two raises. They are any pair in the pocket higher than Jacks, A* J*, Kv J*, Q* !♦, 6* 6a and 5v 5*. You'll get another Ten by the river one out of nine times and win a pot that you never would have played if you had to pay.
Protect Your Bankroll
Choosing to go all-in is a critical decision if you must win the hand to stay in the game. Protect your bankroll, no matter how small it is. Don't play a hand just for the sake of getting rid of your last $8 or $10, or whatever you have left. Just $5, when played judiciously, can rapidly put you back in the game if you win. If you go all-in with $5 against four other players and win, you will have $25 to play with. If you go all-in with that $25 against four players and win, you'll have $125.
This of course does not take into account the effect of the rake, jackpot drop, and dealer tokes, or the size of the pots you win, but you get the idea. Choose your all-in hands with care because it means the difference between winning and losing this playing session. Try to keep enough money on the table so you don't have to go all-in, if possible.
