Do you ever wonder how poker players think when they join a tournament?

You are waiting for the tournament, getting ready, and at the table there are some peculiar players who push 72 preflop with a stack of 30+ bb. Question: if you don't want to play, why did you register? It's enough, because this happens often

it was called casino poker and maybe someone has a lot of extra cash or is high on drugs while playing

I play freerolls like that sometimes and it's fun to knock AA out of the tournament with 27

Well, I don't doubt you.
I'm just trying to figure out why do this? When the odds of winning with 72 are among the lowest. As for me, if I don't want to play, I won't register, but I won't shove all sorts of garbage preflop and ruin the mood of other players

I am familiar with the F. Helmut complex; I encounter such "craftsmen" who enjoy playing big pairs or something similar with such trash not only in freerolls but also in tournaments with a $2.50 buy-in. He has no position, you open AK to 2.5BB, and then you make a minimum c-bet of half the pot, and he doesn't fold, catching a runner on the river. As the pros say, it doesn't matter what strategy you have or what they say about your playing style; what matters is taking your opponents' chips!!! So either avoid playing such pots or accept the presence of such players and try to catch them making mistakes. Good luck at the tables!

Well that makes it pretty obvious and clear why most your threads sound like rig-tard and poker sites are cheating threads. You're just simply terrible at poker and self control. On the bright side you're at least entertaining to a point.

Cheers!!!

I gave up on the logic of poker players years ago and now never expect to win a hand with any hand and versus any hand - no matter how weak their calling may be.
Poker is always cruel and always will be - however we lessen that probability by working at it or not as the case may be.

Big stacked or small - I've seen 7 2 off crack the best of hands, they often only have to hit a piece of the flop and then they are running all the way...pre flop all ins also make no difference too.

The maniac will always be the same.

 

[recerveau]

Sometimes they do this because they don't understand much about the game.

Nearly all of the time.

Its the same with players who go all in for 50 chips in the pot, that always makes me laugh...i get it sometimes if you are in early position and you feel AA or KK is unbeatable - (it always is).

Based on that title such individuals surely think this way: "Deal with it."

Not playing is sitting out, pushing 72o is part of the game. Why don't you watch who does this and call with a superior range, even if it's 30bb. It's your choice. If you choose to follow the commandments of GTO poker, it's your choice, but you can't expect everyone to do the same as you. A good player adapts, if they are irritating you, it's because they are not letting you develop your game while they play, and they are not even concerned about you.

This is why against certain type players(in cash games) when I'm the last and only guy with a shot at calling I simply throw it in with pretty much any 2 cards. Because just about any 2 cards beats their range most the time. And that's why having a bankroll and being mental tough in poker is so important to winning. Some guys just like to play all-in fold no matter their cards. These types are the easiest money you'll ever make in poker. To beat them only requires a bankroll, 10 IQ points and the balls to call them.

As for playing GTO where most of us play(at micro/low stakes) that's garbage and just holding back players games. Playing a TAG+ developing an exploitive style makes way more money at micro-low stakes cash. Anyone who's played at a table with me and seen my HUD stats would fully believe I'm TAG style player who's close to a nit. Yeah well no nit will ever call all-in with just about any 2 cards against any player......mean while I'm over calling shoves by some clowns with just about any 2 cards. Makes for funny chat sometimes I can sure tell you that.

I know plenty of players who soon as I sit at a table will leave and find another table to play at because of how they have seen me play. It makes me laugh so hard. The ultimate form of poker respect I guess. idk.

Cheers!!!

A year ago, I was really annoyed by this. I thought that there were only such players at freerolls and micro-limits, then I played at higher limits and realized that there are also such players there, but there are fewer of them. Now I'm not very surprised at this and it's not so annoying anymore. If I used to treat poker as a game of intelligence, now I understand that it's a game of intelligence, if you play with players who also think so, and if there are a couple of players at the table, that's it, poker turns into a casino

Depending on the size of the freeroll, and how many are registered, i think the lower freerolls are crapshoots, and the ones with better payouts you will find the better players lasting longer.

 

[scobido]

I think they are just trying their luck with those cards, but the success rate is definitely below 20 percent.🙂

 

[Suns of Beaches]

Absolutely no one cares if u were "getting ready" or "waiting for the tournament".

People can play however they want, it's not up to u to decide what they do with their buy-in or free chips.

Hope to see u soon in our replay games, going to shove every hand on u...

"Ruin the mood of other players", that's frankly some of the most ridiculous stuff I have ever read on here 😅

 

[thetick33]

If anything someone else has done effects your attitude you are on tilt...Doesnt matter when this happens...It matters if this happens...Nothing anyone does should bother you....Not with right mindset and nothing matters if you go out early...Now down by bubble if your playing to bubble maybe avoiding someone is something some will use...Me I really dont enter tournaments to bubble so if do bubble its onto the next tournament...

You see the situation only from one side through a prism that is familiar to you and you think that your vision is quite adequate. But other players, other people may be in completely different circumstances, and these circumstances may lead people to actions or decisions that may seem strange to you. We are all human and we are all very different
