All-in all the time ???????

Hi there all; I have something that really gets to me . And that is of some of these people playing in these tournys,are going all-in just about more than really playing the hands out,this bothers me so miuch at times I will call them even though I have nothing. then there are others that I call with myself thinking is a good hand say higher pr. and someone goes with really nothing and ends up getting the winning hand. What does anyone suggest ? Thanks,Papaherb.

After the blinds goes up 3 times, most of this downright nonsense comes to a grinding halt. It is almost like a race where people are jostling for position. It will settle down,
Many people do not want to sit for 3 hours to win 50 cents, so they will go wild a few hands in the first half hour.
If you last long enough, everyone folds to your big blind, and you'll say, man it sure was not like this an hour ago. Be patient and work your way to the lead, or in my case work myself to be In The Money.

As it looks like u already do you just widen your range in comparison to what rags you are seeing but make sure you know who is who at the table as if you just label the table as loose you might miss tighty terry who pushes and u have a j and are the underdog.

You cannot control there play if you are getting your chips in favourite and getting outdrawn then so be it you can do no more...Failing that if u are often getting oudrawn have a healthy hammer close by to put thru the monitor or more sensibly move your pc close to a window and throw it as far as u can...If u choose option 2 make sure u havent got ur pc tied to ur grandma's leg as when the police come round it can be awkward to explain


Officer "can you explain how your grandma was as you claim accidently thrown out of the 4th story window"

Me "officer officer i had AA the moron reraise me with 67 off and hit str8"

Officer "Ow i see ive been there meself the bad beat stories i could tell you hahahha so a warning should just be sufficent and prob best you help ur nana with reabilitation docs recon with determination she may get 70 percent of functioning back in her legs"


PS also i would ASSUME you are playing at low stakes if the pushes are really ridiculous so mayb move up where poker is obviously played with more thinking.

Like this answer ^ lol!

OP, are you referring to late stage play or beginning of freerolls as eberetta has responded to?
In late stage play it is often the 'correct' move to shove allin preflop (or to shove over a raiser). In early stage obviously not (unless of course they figure someone will call them when they're shoving AA,lol).
