Constant all ins in tournaments

[allysdad67]

Just wondering if it is possible to actually see a flop on 888. There seems to be a constant all in preflop from (brazil Romania argentina Ukraine and Belarus players) not just freerolls and low stakes seems to be progressing to the $22 , $55 and $109 tournaments too. It's becoming almost like bingo/lottery.

Hi there - I am assuming this is a re-buy tournament or satellite, if this is is not referring to rebuys then i can relate to that with freerolls, less so on real money although at those stakes, some players will shove with a loose range early doors to try and build up stacks, i tend to find the higher the stake, the less likely the behaviour.
Also what type of tourney are these, sometimes its far more commonplace with smaller fields/Turbo type games.
Its interesting from your comment that this type of play is migrating to those stakes you have mentioned, i will keep an eye out myself as i play across some of those.
I would also suggest making a note if you already have not - on those players.

I think you have to stick to your own game-play and not be drawn into others, it can frustrating and i am sure all of us have will continue to experience this type of player or playing style, know your ranges in terms of pre flop play but also don't get dragged into what i call a bidding war with constant rebuys - that player or players will eventually burn out is my advice.

We emphasize: it is more profitable in poker to conduct an aggressive strategy than to constantly call. When taking risks and going all-in, there is always a chance that the opponent will fold his cards. Then you will automatically get a profit. This is such a game tactic.

If they push too often deeper than 10BB it's a leak. We like it when other players make mistakes.

If you want to see a lot of flops - play cash games or deep-stacked MTTs.

Man, Poker is not static. It changes all the time. Welcome to a new standard of play where people with enough money go all-in with promising hands in search of a comfortable stack early in the game. Adapt.

The fact, he talk about $22+ games and players from countries, where many play at least semiprofessionally, tells me, that most likely they just push, when they are supposed to, and this annoy OP, because he dont understand short stacked poker. Maybe this video can help:

Exactly. And avoid any kind of turbo or hyperturbo tournaments as well as last minute late registration.

When the whole table limps or calls a minraise, in a lot of cases it's a sin not to push and collect these chips 🥰

You are wrong. Players from Brazil, Romania, Argentina, Ukraine and Belarus don't always play bingo. There are different players, some play bingo, and there are a lot of them, and some play poker. Nevertheless, if you see a certain systematic nature in the actions of other players, you can use it to your advantage. Think about it

Very correct, some venture out on purpose for this as long as the rebuy period lasts, if you succeed you are at an advantage by putting over the ad-on you ensure a good stack (just now the game starts 👍)

another words, need collect your own experience to understand theory of ranges, or just learn more on another expirienses. In this case is more important don't drain in other opinions, because a lot of them out there.

Yes it's possible to see flops on 888. In whatever game u play.

 

[fefibecerra]

I've seen these quite a lot in smaller stakes. The weird thing is that people get annoyed at those that go all-in every single hand, so they are like "he is opening super wide, so I'm gonna call with KJ" just to see AA from the maniac and give all their chips to the maniac's stack.

I agree with you, I don't want to swear too much at 888 Poker. Special players who don't play poker, but just in a casino with whatever cards they're dealt. Because of this, I stopped playing 888 poker for buy-in; I've only been playing freerolls there for about six months

 

[kaynbergo]

888 has no benefit from aggression, because at least 5 out of 7 people at the table will respond to your aggression, no matter what cards they have

 

[userX]

Such players are now part of the game. All you can do is use the game of such players to your advantage if possible, otherwise you will have no choice and will have to give up playing poker.

 

[ninocabral]

It's normal to have players like this at the tables, but this is good because when you have a medium hand you can call against this type of player which will be a profitable move in the long run.

 

[redmast]

Well, that doesn't happen all the time. I also use this method to increase my stack, but only if it is either highly likely that I will win the bet, or if it is pointless to raise or count due to the small stack.

So u basically stopped playing there because of bad Players correct?

People are hoping to quickly fill a stack so they can move on or just have fun. And 888 poker is considered to be the weakest European field.

 

[recerveau]

There are crazy people at every level, don't be surprised.

 

[WrongUsername]

poker is a lottery game if u don´t like u don´t need to play.

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

it's normal just play a tag game and hope they don't suckout on you

 

[Rost]

There are such players in all countries without exception. But the higher the buy-in, the fewer such players there are. Nevertheless, a large buy-in of a tournament is not a guarantee that all players will play adequately. All you can do is change your game and your decisions in such a way that you don't take unnecessary risks.
