And ace any other card does not mean its a killer hand. If you have caught a couple and have won. well luck was with you. It is a bad habit to get into if you are playing for real.

can not stand the all inners as i call them. it seems that they win 60-65% of time.

Its quite simple you just trap them in position with a good hand.You flat call AA or any BIG hand they move all in you call them bust'em and there bye bye or they're stack is in half.No matter what you'll always have to adjust your game to beat the tables PLAYERS...even if its Pro's or all-in freeroll donks

you just have to really study the other players. Once u figure out thier range of card selection, and a lot of it is weak, they can be quite easy pickings.

you can avoid the allinn players by chosing not to play a few hands at the beginning of any tournament. i noticed that after maximum 5 hands things get back to normal

Not sure what the problem is ... I love em... I wish everybody would go all in every single hand ... I got no problem finishing second without playing a single hand

hi

I have to agree with last few posts -

if there are alot of all-ins (eg. at the start of a freeroll) then simply dont play / dont call

if they make a move on you after you have raised then it's a legitimate play - if they have a hand then they have correctly moved in on you, if they dont have a hand then they are legitimately playing agressively to a raise (this can be legitmate with rags in some cases)

you are under no obligation to call an all-in just because they are made - you should generally be calling with a strong hand worth calling an allin - or in effect have wanted them to allin

its all about control, discipline & patience

you need all 3 to do well at poker

allin players should not irritate you - either you have the read on them and can call with a very strong hand to their rags (correct play) or you fold and save your chips when you have nothing or not enough

hope thats a help

cheers scrawnybob

This seems typical of low blinds on a freeroll on microstakes tournys.

Just ignore it and fold unless you truly have a powerhouse hand... in which case some guy who obviously doesn't care will be helping you out. Sure, it's annoying... but it can always help you too.

They'll dissapear eventually. They'll all bust and then you can continue to play, have a little fun and hopefully make some money.

I have to come back to this original statement.

I hate to break it to ya... they know how to play.

You might not like their way of playing. Not their problem. Nor should they change how they play to please you.

If you want to be a good consistent tournament player, you have to learn to handle every single different style of play in every single different situation.

Even in big money tourneys - you will find people that will go all in against you ... especially if you are short stacked, they will be putting you all in on a regular basis.

The first hour of a freeroll/low buy in tournament is the hardest hour of any poker tourney online. If you can consistently do well in freerolls ... you should clean up in money tourneys as they are childs play compared to survival in a freeroll.
