Hello,
Apologies my first post is here and not the intro section, I will be posting too.
Recently, after deciding Full Tilt was not for me... I have gone to party poker... I've won / been paid in a few of the SNGs i've participated in, I'm finding that both 6 & 10 player tables are pretty winnable UP TO $55 buy-ins. Over this amount i find people keep trying to do a durrrr special with a relatively weak hand... of course, you don't realise until you've folded a strong hand and someone has called them. This happens on both 6 & 10 person tables.
The all-in calls have pushed me to fold hands like KA suited, KK, AQ suited, QQ, A10 suited because I want to still be in the SNG... This is the exact same problem with all ring games i've played on Party Poker too even with a fairly chunky bankroll it still leaves me folding the stronger hands... how do I play people like this, I try to play aggressive where I can but these all-in calls pre-flop are stealing my blinds and stealing my small calls!
What is the best way to beat players like this, do I need to take more chances or just wait for them to get knocked out? I am not massively confident because i've lost a few times to poor hands... but i've also lost to good hands where i've thought 'they're lying'.
Any advice welcome :-(
