I am pretty sure 90%, if not more of us, are guilty of it. Lets say you are dealt AA, you raise it 3-4X the BB and get one caller. The flop is J-8-4 rainbow and you bet out with a 1/4 to 1/2 pot bet. Your bet then gets reraised double what you bet, so now you push all in for the rest of you chips. You flip over your AA, your opponent turns over JJ and you are crushed.

Why do we do this? Why are we not happy with just calling the raise, playing it out and try winning a medium size pot? Instead, we try to push as hard as we can just to see that we are beat and lose a huge portion of out chips in one hand. So, is it either all or nothing? I know it has to do with greed and/or trying to be the tough guy. If it is greed wouldn't you show more profit if you win a lot of medium size pots and losing small one, compared to, winning a big one and losing a bigger one? The tough guy thing kills me, I don't think anyone is tougher then anyone else at the table, unless you let them. How dare you reraise me when I have pocket aces!!

I guess I am just trying to think out loud and see where others go with this. So please any thoughts or additions to this would be appreciated.
