it is increasingly difficult to play some satellite tournaments due to the crazy all-in, are guys who have no idea of the games and leaves betting everything and sometimes win even with bad play and luck.

Hi.
Yes you are right. This happens quite often. After such cases, I sometimes have to make a break in the game, because I feel I can fall into the tilt.
Good luck.

I see rag hands beating premium hands all the time. Makes it hard to play but that is freeroll - low stakes poker.

There is a thing called "limit" poker if you don't like the "all-ins".:dontknow:

The worst thing is that you know that these kind of players very rarely make an ITM. But they can put you in difficult decisions every time they are on the table.
And let's say... All we know that poker is variance, but it's really annoying when you are eliminated by a totally donkey. :mad:

The strategy for this mode of play is different, and there are not many such tournaments available in most rooms.

I completely agree. Such situations happen very often. freerolls and satellites, where more than a thousand people play - is a closed poker world that is completely different from cash games or ordinary tournaments. From the different positions of the table constantly "fly" all-in, and few people can explain why opponents are playing with "junk" cards.

Unfortunately, in recent times there has been such a trend, more and more players who only know what to insinuate .. I, too, is very annoyed and I become more aggressive-hence I make more mistakes. I need to train discipline and show more patience, that's the way out of the situation)

I understand you. Such crazy people, this is an integral part of poker. I think we need to get used to, and just play poker. Good luck.

Oh, do NOT get me started. A lot of satellites these days all but encourage that kind of behavior--500 starting stack Hyper Turbo luckbox tournaments, hate 'em. No wonder people are still pulling that kind of BS.

You just have to know when to call these kind of people, make a massive chip profit when you have the right cards to call with. They just have no respect for the game, like this isn't bingo for crying out loud!

I think you all make a mistake by assuming those types don't really have a clue.

There are peeps out there who do have big pockets. They can re-enter a gazillion times, so you need to avoid those types of tourneys.

Then there are folks with a short fuse, who are thinking they just don't want to putz all day for a few pennies, but somehow they took the time to register. Some of these folks had something happen to them between when they registered, and game start. They might know they can't finish the game but are not interested in being polite (by just sitting out). Some of those had some bad thing happen IRL and are taking it out on the game.

Some really don't have a clue. Some are very good players using a valid strategy (double up or bust fast). I think the clueless are the smallest sub group of all the various sub groups in any game.

You're job is to learn how to deal with the largest variety of these sub groups as you can.

Guys, the fact that there are people who constantly go all-in - for you a huge plus. The fact that they won you at a certain moment is just a mathematical situation and nothing more. Thank them for this, so in most cases you will be in a big win. If you want to win constantly - then think about whether you understand poker as a game in general?

I must admit that I too, get quite frustrated having to be at a table with a bunch of [Preflop ALL-IN DONKIES]
But this is the reality of playing in today’s online low buy-in poker games. Depending on the day and my frame of mind, I will normally wait for position and a very strong hand before I challenge these fish. lol

It depends on which satellites you are playing, because I play MTT turbo and I am doing well but the sit and go are hyper and most players enter to play bingo.

It can be very tough. Don't play into their game. Play your game. Remember you can always fold. Wait for spots where you are confident that you have the best hand to get it in. Remember that generally people with shorter stacks are going all in with a weaker range. Patience and understanding the strength of position are key. Also bankroll management is important as it will make the swings of poker less taxing on your mind.

Hello.
Personally, I am terribly nervous when there are such crazy players at my table. In such cases, this is no longer a game, but more like a roulette game in the casino.

Ihave found that playing against these players ,that they will shove any 2 cards win or lose. they will rebuy and continue there way ,hoping you follow iun there steps, They will keep shoving and when they achieve a big stack they return to normal play .Now they will shove with premium cards and gain chips because many will think they are bluffing

have patience Avoid turning weak opponents into poker geniuses, paying unnecessary and just have a bit of calm, that this type of play does not last 3 minutes.

Hello

It isn't easy to play poker like this. I just try to play very tight and when I get a high starting hand I go with it. I cross my fingers and hope it holds up. Good luck !

Most of these luckbox players never make any money off the game unless they get a good luckstreak and then quit playing while they're ahead. Sometimes you have to play many many hands in poker in order for luck to swing in your favor and get some profits. This is why bankroll management is so key to being a successful poker player long term.
