Are you an all-in player?

[wyvern777]

There are many such situations in the game of poker.Are you an all-in player? Because, for example, you can play AK in all sorts of ways if you don't know what will happen on the flop.

... you can play it all sorts of ways, you can also shove 😎👍

I still don't know what's better, taking risks with unexpected moves or playing them slowly and wisely. If you play boldly, you can double your chips quickly, but if you play slowly, you will waste your chips.

Like so many things in poker, it all depends on the specific situation. Examples are whether you are in a tournament or playing cash and what type of players you are up against. Same for “bold” play vs “slow” play. It all depends on the specific situation.

There are players who have practiced their style and sometimes they don't care what the situation is.

True. And that likely makes them a losing player in the long-term, since they can’t adapt to the current situation at their table.

 

[Skot_Gy]

Yes, i often tend to end up all in.
Especially in free or low money tournaments

For my play it’s going to highly depend on what the situation is for any hand I play, where I’m at in the tournament, how many big blinds I have, how many big blinds my opponent has, am I heads up or multi way, what my table image is, what my opponent’s table image is. Shoving 100+ big blinds just because you has AK is pretty wreckless in general. But at 15 or less in general I’m looking to shove that hand.

All in is great sometimes. pocket 2's actually have a slightly higher chance of winning compared to AK (preflop of course)

You can win with any card, but you certainly can't improve with this game. It's extremely pointless to me, even if it's a freeroll. There are people who want to advance and improve through freerolls. But players like that make the game unenjoyable.

I like going to the line with AK at the start so I can win a lot of chips at the start of the tournament.

Situations. If I think I have a 4 to 1 edge in a situation and know there’s a good chance vilain will call a big bet. I am willing to risk it. So should you. Extracting max value when odds are favorable is important.

 

[Aleksandr1991]

В покере таких ситуаций много. Вы идёте ва-банк? Потому что, например, AK можно разыгрывать по-разному, если не знаешь, что произойдёт на флопе.

You can go to the wabank

Interesting topic! I wouldn’t call myself an “all-in player,” but I think there are moments where it’s absolutely the right move, especially in tournaments where stack pressure and ICM play a big role. With hands like AK, it really depends on stack depth and position. Sometimes jamming preflop is the most +EV decision, other times it’s just burning equity when you could have played postflop.

I try to avoid being predictable, though. If people think you’re always shoving with premiums, they’ll start folding too much and if they think you’re wild, you’ll get called light. Finding that balance is what makes poker so fun (and tricky).

 

[mattiebumpo]

I will go all in when I am short stacked but I do not understand players who go all in with a large stack (more than 20 BBs).

 

[Kaaskop63]

I shove them.

 

[bazza155]

Depends on the table. chip stacks, position, point were the game has got to, are players limping to the bubble etc

 

[chicbulls2]

depends on the timing, whos behind you to act, how many bb you have, what type of a tournament it is ...

 

[Cooking]

Since I play mostly only freerolls, I go all in several times.

 

[Toruk Makto]

Generally yes.

 

[Ch3tz]

Especially in freerolls and micro tourneys i go all in

 

[KeyPatience]

Everyone is, as long as your cards are a strong match-up to the opponent/s in true sense!

 

[schtiuky]

For freerolls and fast games yes if I can play a max of 20 hands before bb eats my stack then I wont loose such of opportunity.

 

[NENMEMBA]

I never go all in and I never call an all in

 

[menken7777]

i love to do that , mant times as possible
