Micro stakes players all in on river?

I get this a lot, and can only assume that they think that it's profitable to play a winning hand by shoving all in on the river. I chuck some good hands away to this , do you guys think this is wise or not? They often do it if a scare card such as a third suit comes on the river, but sometimes just randomly with no draws on the board. Or do you think players bluff all in alot at micro stakes?

I have seen this quite a lot recently and it is nearly always a made hand. You get the occasional spaz that shoves his air on the river but I generally like to have a pretty strong hand to be calling in these spots.

this ^_^. it's usually always the nuts unless you have a read against some monkey

thanks

ok, thanks you guys. I thought as much, it seems like the kind of thing a fish would do, i had this table where everyone was doing it constantly for a few hours. Though got away with some good bluff all ins, not something i would normally do but it just worked in that instance.

Yeah, shoving on the river never works. I mean people just never call without the nuts.

Lol, awesome. If you dont bet they cant call.

I'm a new to the Cash game I usually play MTT and SnG, but I already found that the only way to play micro stakes is with good hands, you can't really bluff a person who can barly read his own hand so there is now way that he could read yours. you got to realize that grinding in micro stakes might take a while, you should play more then one table and search for the right hands.

WV,How did you get those equity numbers to show with the results? Is that a PT option or did you edit those in???

Didn't do anything different than normal, so if they're new there it must be something they added in the newest release that came out Friday.

I don't push all in on the river, in fact I try not to push all in at all.... instead I do a pot control and that way in case the other player sucksout on me, he doesn't make me go broke...
