All in pre flop

[Poker Orifice]

All in pre flop is skill if you are the first to go all in and force everyone else to fold.......... If you are the second or subsequent all in shout, then it is purely down to luck. It cannot be skill because someone else has already shoved and you don't know what they have or what will come along on the board....there is no skill in that!

So there's no skill involved in know when to call a shove?

Question:

say you (HERO) have AJs and raise from CO on a stack of ~35bb's. Player in SB goes allin w 16bb stack. (Hero has history with SB player).
Are you saying there's no skill involved here in knowing whether or not to call the shove?

I am a fan of the early all in becasue you want to make chips and if you are able to take advantage then why not. It is only bingo if you do it every time. It takes advantage of tight players. Have to do what is best to win tournament..

My favorite is doing it just before the button or at the button with reasonable cards, players remember this and mostly fold(if you're below 20BB). And then if you're lucky in the next round and have a high pair, you can do it again and maybe someone will call now
