Wait I can answer this, I was @ your table last night. Quit going all in 3 hands in a row then you wont have to ask .

If I can I'll find the hands and post them then you can write a "WHAT DID I DO WRONG" blog next.

Id say just relax you dont have to play every hand like its your last. Remember you can come back from 30 chips but not from the rail. Poker is a marothon not a 20yrd dash!!!!

Have fun enjoy the game!! owowOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you're playing freerolls, dummies who go all in on every hand are simply part of the landscape. If it's a tournament with prizes (typically small amounts of cash or 'tickets' to later-round tourneys), your only choice is to play only premium hands and hope the donkeys don't suck out against you when you push back against them. Obviously the optimal situation is that they donk away their chips fairly quickly, but some manage in spite of themselves to build bankrolls that insulate them from reality and then they become an unavoidable problem. But that's part of the on-line game.

If it's one of the 'cash' tables at PS, FT, or one of the other sites, then your choices are to follow that same advice or find another table. Most of the time, all-in donks ultimately will help you build your own play-money bankroll.

Sit out the first 20 minutes or so.

Thats what i do in freerolls.

BigBud Jun 10, 2008 1:34 am

20 minute wait..is that all? i do atleast 30-45. i don't care if i got aces...i do not play...usually. ..that long. And usually the ones that complain...well..they do it themselves. Sounds like you do too. Either way..I'm no pro so no major advice coming...except this...You take that fast quarter...I'll take the slow nickel...see who lasts

Me, personally, I don't like to wait in the beginning, but rather wait for premium hands. If you have Aces and someone moves all in against you, you should call so you can build up your stack. DON'T necessarily move all in with aces, but calling an all in is fair. In most tournament structures, just play position and play Jacks or better pre-flop. And you need to be able to fold JJ or QQ when an Ace or King flops. TIGHT/AGGRESSIVE play is key in multi-table tournaments. People often complain about donks who throw away all their chips, but think optimistically. If anything, those are just opportunities to knock them out because if you call, you're only calling if you're going to be the favorite. If you don't want to risk it, then fold the premium hand. It's okay! They will come up again. Take one hand at a time.
