How to deal with players going all in every hand?

Lunawarrior25 · May 7, 2026

How does everyone deal with those players who consistently go all in every hand especially during tournaments? Even if you have a great hole pair it’s big risk going all in blind, if you don’t call your chips slowly waste away until either you’re out or you get lucky and someone else manages to knock them out or they get moved tables.

I will lower the requirements for making a call , but i try mind my position to not have too many behind me that could step in and punish my call .

Study ICM and you will always be prepared for it.

I really don't like these type of players, but usually I'll wait for a very good hand and go all in. There isn't much you can do.

and just pay with good hands

Sometimes I also get a bit lost against this type of player
What I try to do is wait for a really strong hand and be patient, because eventually they go all-in when they're far behind. The hard part is watching them steal blinds all the time without getting irritated and ending up falling into bad hands.

These people are high variance but possibly the best kind of fish to have at your table.

Yes, you will get it in bad occasionally, yes you will get sucked out on- but as a rule you should be coming out ahead against them if you pick your spots well.

Just remember to tag them for next time too.

You just have to wait to get a good hand; you have to be patient against these players who only try to annoy you

Wait for top tier hands and knock out him

These players don't last long in the game! I'm waiting for a good hand!

Against players going all-in every hand, patience is the key.
Don’t try to “fight back” with weak hands out of frustration.
Tighten your range and wait for strong hands with good equity.
These players usually rely on pressure and chaos, so let them make the mistakes.
In the long run, disciplined play against maniacs is very profitable.

I usually stay patient and wait for a strong hand. Players who shove every hand can be frustrating, but over the long run they’re usually making a losing strategy. The key is not letting them push you into making bad calls out of frustration.

The auto translator doesn't always work either..

Knowing that they mostly will bust out really fast you can sit back and wait for a strong hand.
The inner smile gets bigger the more often they go all in, because you know what kind of childish this approach is.
Also mark them in case you meet them any where else, these player are mostly weak.

If someone is truly going all-in every hand, they're giving the table a huge edge. Tighten up, call with stronger hands than usual, and let variance do its thing. It can be frustrating when they keep winning, but over time that strategy is a losing one and you'll benefit from it.

Be patient and pay attention to what this player is showing down when they go all-in. If you see them shove with something like T-3 offsuit, then you know they're willing to go all-in with almost any hand.

Because of that, when you pick up a hand like A-J, you may have to consider calling. The key is deciding how long you're willing to wait and what kind of hand you're willing to go with. Of course, you can wait for premium hands like aces or kings, but in my opinion, you should be willing to get involved with strong hands that aren't necessarily premiums. Otherwise, you may end up passing on too many profitable opportunities.

Fold until you hit a strong hand to call them and if you lose a hand against them just hold off and wait for a strong hand don't try chase losses with them

Be patient, pay attention to the hands you and the opponent are playing, have an understanding of which hands have been used by the opponent towin and expect mistakes. Strike when the time is right, cause LAG players are the best opponents to double up against !

Just wait and let your patience reward you, as long as you have a lot of big blinds; otherwise, choose which hand to risk based on your value and not your game.
