All In Pre Flop

it depends on the situation. If I have less than 10 BBs left, I can go all in with a more marginal hand because of fold equity. and if the player calls you can still be lucky and draw your card. But with more than 20BB at the start of the tournament the evidence is to play closer.

I get really tired of the whinging about bad players. If you cannot beat a bad player, you are the bad player. There are a dozen different things you can exploit from almost every player, but instead people are always crying about the bad players. Generally it is the bad players who fund us...so please get over it.

I hate these players being in the game as it does ruin the enjoyment of the game at times. That being said your right. Complaining is not what we need to do but we need to play and take advantage of the situation Many players will tighten up and wait for aces and not take a calculate risk when the opportunity comes up, Yes there are times I may lose but there are also many time I stack them.

Hello. There are times when a push all-in pre-flop may be warranted.For example, low stack, and I am dealt AA, AKs, KK, or QQ. That is one time I will.
 
I believe that A is considered to be some kind of symbol of power in poker, although in fact it is not supported by anything. And the players, seeing A on their hands, automatically think that another A will fall out for sure, and they will have the nuts on their hands. This is a very erroneous point of view, because in fact, cards like A6 are no better than 7J. They have roughly equal odds preflop. I am not in the category of players who push all in with these cards, and those who do so I think need a better understanding of poker.
 
When I'm looking to push a small stack I often try to do it with an Ace in my hand. Ace hitting and giving you top pair is so strong against 1 or 2 players and can beat lots of strong hands like TT to KK
 
That’s Low Stakes Poker

In very low streaks many poor players do that. I call it Zynga Poker Syndrome. They care so little for there bet that they play like it’s free. I take notes on such loose players.
 
Well, there are a lot of situations where Ace rag is a push... But just shoving a starting stack with any ace is usually negative EV.
 
Every time I see players playing everything Pre Flop, I think they are intentional and not good players, they abuse their luck.
 
We collect chips from such players. If they were not there, it would have been more difficult to win a tournament or win a decent pot in cash. Anyone, if he wants to, learn to play well, you cannot rely only on luck in poker and know the combinations. So I wish you all more fish at the tables and a good river!🙂
 
More angry when they win my pocket JJ QQ or KK, just would like to smash something.
 
I understand if its a freeroll or a tournament worth a buck or so. doesn't make sense on a real live tournament with a decent buy in and a decent prize pool, unless you are a multi-millionaire that plays poker for fun and joins tournaments and goes all in with what ever he wants when ever he wants with what ever he wants because the buy in money doesn't mean anything to him. but most poker players care about the money. so if you are playing a real live poker tournament with decent buy in and decent prize pool its rare for someone to go all in with rage ace preflop early in the game, it's very possible for players to go all in pre flop with Ace rage late in a tournament when blinds are real high and worth it to steal them and if you are like 3 handed or so, then it can be justifiable in poker game theory.
 
Just a lot of players play just for fun, do not consider it as earnings and many more who do not want to learn and make a lot of mistakes, especially at micro-limits, you need to take this into account and adapt to them.

I can't really enjoy it, I prefer not to take a risk on the pre flop without having a sense of what lies ahead, playing the blinds for me. This is not playing poker, it's like you said, it's bingo, lucky.

I absolutely agree with you. So I just wait patiently for good cards and do not react to provocations by bingo players. 🙂
 
I don't understand those either. If I go all-in with such a card, then only with a small stack of 5BB or less. There is no time to expect a better card.
 
IT always depends

Sometimes I don't understand some players who start the game with A2, A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 with these cards already going all-in thinking that A is the only card that will come out on the table and always having the chance that it will happen to really win , players are so excited about A when he takes it in his hand that he doesn't give up, even if his opponent has a royal. I think they should study more poker before starting a table by pushing all in ....

Depends on the situation. Ace X suited against any other ace that has a bigger kicker has a 30% chance to win. When you got 18 bigs or less a shove with aces X suited or not in Lo jack to Button when folded to you i think is always a smart shove. I can see if you get it in with them and you always have the higher kicker and still lose. Thats just part of the game. The Ace is strong only defense is maybe dont call all ins all the time pre and make sure if you do get it in make sure you getting a good price. 2:1 or better you if you think you flipping
 
on the contrary my friend, I wish that they study even less, because these are the players who bring the profit from poker, so the less they know the better hehehehe

A.* all-in preflop always happened under freerolls 、short stacks players or Bingo players. To play this way is because of low cost.
 
REALLY A STRONG

really the A is strong but I mean when the player goes all in preflop at the beginning of a tournament where he doesn't even have a chance to win any prize I prefer to see at least the flop to decide what to do ..

I agree with you, but you have to be careful, having an A in hand is having a top pair in hand.
 
They often call Allin with just an AX and win. Also when it is very risky because it is also possible that someone has a pocket pair or hits a good card on the flop.

The person with AX just sees the A and wants to minimize the people in the pot.
 
I loved peoples who doing that most times so easy to get their chips
 
I think part of the reason why you see this so often in the lower stake tournaments is because often times players will call an all in with hands much worse then Ax
 
I see it a lot at the tables, losing vs those hands is frustrating especially when the stack is similar and the tournament is advanced, losing with KK QQ AK AQ AJ, it is also good that I know about that because one can double and the probability It is very high in our favor, and as they have already mentioned, it usually happens more at low levels, which is where I am moving at the moment:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:
 
In freerolls and low buy-in tournaments it is happening every minute
But in last month I lose many time, when somebody is all in, I call, and he have A8, I have AK, but flop shows 8 and there is no K or something, and I lose.
