All in before the flop and blinds?

I know it cant be kosher to do this but is it legal?

Assuming you are acting in turn I believe you are allowed to do it.

Not 100% sure about that though

What I am talking about is...

The dealer chip being anywhere on the table and just after the rake and just before the blind bets come out, can you go all in. I know this is dumb but when a tourney runs late and your down on chips and your ready to go home, can you go blind all in?

I don't think so no.

If you are just doing it cause you want to leave just leave and you will get blinded out

If you really wanted to push all-in blind, just wait till the action comes around to you and push. If you really want to go home that bad, just wait the extra 30 seconds for the betting to come around to you.

I knew it wasnt right but at the time I was dead tired. Long story short someone called (I hadnt even looked at my cards) I had pocket nines. Won the hand, went all in again three more times (I waited for my play), won all those and ended up coming in second about an hour and a half later.

So you weren't to tired to play after you got some chips in your hand. That's why you should always play till the end sometimes luck will run your way.

you do not have to look at your cards to go all in or call the blind if that is what you are asking. as far as upsetting people well they would not be upset if they beat you. it is gambling. all tho if it was a weekly real game chances are you would not be invited back. good luck

just beginning

Have found that if I am in correct position and have a high pair going all in pre flop can draw some action. This can set me up to be in position to win or at least place in the tourney im playing in. Be carefull with small pairs. You could get burnt and be out before better cards come your way. Good luck, be wise and have $$ to play another day.

You must wait for your turn to bet to do that because the person before you may bet what you have and you can call the bet or you may post and fold which the dealer will do for you and go sleep.

re: All in before the flop and blinds?

it is a low percentage play to use all the time but can be very effective if u trip cards.

having said that it can look real stupid when they don't. my message play the table.
