My point is why the f would someone sac a piece unless they get relatively immediate compensation? A lot of times players at the top level don’t castle also, but it depends on the position
si puedes sacar el rey a una zona de mate con atraccion vale la pena

There is an old saying: "One piece attacks do not work."
After you "sacrifice" a piece for a pawn, what is your game plan on taking advantage of the opposing king not being able to castle?
Do you know the bishop's opening? The take of f7 on the second move is usually called a premature attack. Don't make such moves unless you have a great advantage in development, or have done enough calculation to lure the king out and form a mating net

Tactics flow from a superior position. FIRST you establish an advantageous position, THEN you start looking for sacrifices or other tactics.

The only opening I can think of where it's a remotely good idea is the Traxler. And it's a real gamble anyways.

If I were playing you and you did that my tactics would be to exchange pieces and get the Queens off the board. As the match quickly enters the endgame phase I want my King to be active, so the fact he never castled is a bonus. Oh, and I am up a piece !
Start doing it and let us know how it works out for you.
