[Baldy86]

[chippawa1234]

I am the worst chip leader poker has ever Seen and it ain't even close.

 

[UberPokerFan]

I wouldn't call it "afraid" but you do need to be aware that he/she is possibly going to be opening with a wider range to put pressure on you. After confirming that, your all-in with JJ was fine. He/she just got lucky.

 

[makisaa]

No I am not afraid of another player who has a good course, till that moment. I try for the best!

 

[niphon56]

When i ITM, there is nothing to fear.

 

[elpolloloco95]

[gwooof]

No love the cheap lead can really take control of the game specially when your down to the money you can be a real bully and push every one away then we you get a hand they call you thinking your bluffing

I am rather wary of the chip leaders, but not afraid.

 

[fruittree]

Never! Unless very close to the money. But never the time to bluff!

 

[wonima]

Never....I only fear fear itselfs

Indeed. I've been in both the receiving and the dishing out end of the chip leader's luck. Sometimes its just insane, it seems they can go all in every hand and win, regardless of what hand they're holding.

I do play a lot more cautiously when I see a chip leader demolishing players, and usually wait for premium pocket pairs to make a move, otherwise I don't even bother.

no way, being the chip leader is the best, it gives you confidence and the cards come with it, you dare to play with every card and even the winning series comes alongside it.

 

[RUNRRUNRTO]

I’m not afraid of the chip leader, I’m afraid of myself.

 

[Luvepoker]

Am I ever afraid of the chip leader, No I do see them and are aware of them and will be smart with my play but afraid? I can say that is not what happens to me.

 

[scobido]

I am never afraid of the leader chip, because the game calculated, very careful and profit from any opportunity to get as many chips as possible .

 

[myquickwit]

I usually try to stay away from the chip leader. Does this mean I'm afraid of the chip leader? I don't know that I'm afraid but I am definitely more aware of them and play much tighter and more cautiously against them.

 

[nicu1944]

if I have good books I'm not afraid

 

[Henriquekbnz]

You dont need feel afraid , you made the correct way, the leader that was a runner and , he had Lucky , but If you repeat It several times you Will Win, so this is poker , to make the right decision and in the long time you Will be sucessfull

 

[Snake2007]

I'm not afraid of the chip leader because with a few hands you can beat it and you can become a leader chip

 

[Pawlowski]

Not at all! But curious!

 

[SawViper]

Yea, just a general rule I have I try not to get involved or play expensive big pots with chip leaders unless I have a sick hand and based on how hes played so far I'm pretty sure I have him beat.

 

[kisjanik24]

hello

I definitely don't like it because I use my chip advantage with aggressive calls on my own and this is usually the case

 

[Max Diver]

Afraid ? Never.
You need to adjust your game to the situation. It is a chance to double your chips or more sometimes. But if you do the wrong move the Tournament is over for you.
Some chip leaders gets very agressive, sometimes less agressive and some plays like normal. Depends.
Also is key how many big blinds do you have, the position you are related to the chip leader.
Cheers,
M.D.

It is advisable not to play against a player in the middle of the race that touches all his hands. I'm not too scared of stingy leaders, but when he assures me and I decide to pay. It is knowing that in the best cases. I'm going to have to play a flip. Many other factors come into play, including the number of players that must be eliminated to get to the places to pay or the level of play and reputation your opponent enjoys.
