When I have strong and sure cards to win, I use a method to persuade and win the hand by betting all the money to impress and eliminate the other bettors.

When you have a big hand you need to decide how much value you can get from your opponent. Blasting all your chips in the middle is only going to get your opponent to fold unless they either have you beat or they have the second best hand and call you. So instead think about how much you can bet to get them to call so you at least get something for your big hand.

Yeah, I get the idea, but going all-in too often can scare everyone away and kill your value. The real trick is figuring out how to get paid when you’ve got the best hand, not just winning the pot, but maximizing it.

It's a good start to follow that disciplined line, cause it teaches a tight and aggressive playstyle. So i guess, keeping your strategy up for now is fine.
You can also work on your hand reading abilities and getting more familiar with opponents possible ranges. If you only look at your cards, fine for now. If you want to improve your game, you will need to implement that . Key tactics fmo. include playing positionally, observing opponents to identify weaker players who call this betting line frequently and be flexible with chips.

A set of techniques and rules for constructing specific hands that allow you to show positive results over the long term.Many amateurs view card games as a test of luck. These poker players doubt there's a reliable way to achieve a positive win rate. In practice, about 5% of all players end up winning over the long term. This is because they don't play randomly, but rather follow a specific strategy.

This doesn't sound like it will work against better poker players. If poker was that simplistic, then we would see every pro doing this. The truth is that it's not one thing like this. You can't summarize how to become a pro poker player into one sentence... or if you did, then it wouldn't be practical.

Study poker theory. Read books, watch videos, and participate in discussions with other players. Analyze your hands. After a game, it's helpful to review your hands and reflect on what you could have done better.
