Anyway, to make a long story short, in both cases I had called other people's raises pre-flop and I was facing a bet. That meant that a lot of money was in the pot, people were confident in their hands, and I was facing people with a lot invested. In both cases, I went all-in and two people followed me.
This is crazy. You know you are an underdog here, and you know that people are confident in their hands. Why would you want to put all your chips in when you believe you will be called? Pushing with a strong draw is only good as a semi bluff. If you think you can take the pot down because you have fold equity, you make this play. And if you get called, you have outs. It is not a good play when you take the fold equity out of the equation.
