Calling an All In Requires a Much Better Hand Than Moving All In

 

Many beginners think when they are short stacked that they should call an all in bet with any decent hand. What they should be doing instead is moving all in first to put pressure on the other players. Calling an all in with Q8 is very different than moving all in with the same hand with a small stack. The all -in bettor will likely have something that you have to beat. Be the leader.
