What do you do when one player keeps going All-in every round?
I hate that. Sometimes I wait till I get a double or something.... and at times it takes long to get a double.
But if I do. I see them when they go all-in.

What do you do when you encounter that?

Hello, I have already encountered several players of this type that go all-in with any two cards, and for me to be able to take action against a player who has this crazy style it is necessary to observe some details. I watch my position, my stacks and my cards, not necessarily have to be an AA or KK, if I am Deep Stack, I will play until with 9Ts, now if I am Short Stack I will only play with Premium cards. Good luck on the tables.

Depending on who it is, I wait for my chance to take his chips (love them), or until somebody else does. But I need a strong Ace or high pair at least. In case I have more chips, I would even raise his bet to seperate him (tell my folks: I'll have him covered). In case somebody calls your raise... GOOD LUCK!!!:fight:

Wait for a pair 99 or better or AK AQ. Realize all ins are gambles as any hand against any other hand usually at worst has 25% chance of winning 3 to 1, not bad. At best 70% generally speaking. Even Kings are 30% chance of losing against Ace deuce.

Count your big blinds and see how long you can wait for 99 or better, just realize it is still a gamble that is what 2 cards combined with 5 cards non stop does to the statistics. Also you might just want to avoid this player as they are in super maniac mode,try to play them post flop, avoid the player because they increase volatility which in tournaments is death. Don't play them if you have 35 BB or more generally speaking.

Wait for a half descent hand then fight fire with fire.

I get aggresive on them with any suited connector, any descent King, any Ace, any pair. Try to put the decision on them.


Better yet if I could isolate them heads up post flop. Just got to trust your read sometimes and be willing to stack off light.


Note sometimes I end up looking like a donkey so idk if my method is recommended for everyone.

Unfortunately when people are going all in all the time, there is nothing you can do but wait patiently. Once you have good cards, try and take their chips.

This can be very frustrating... I try to avoid tangling with such a player as Ive called with some premium hands only to end up losing. Like the others have said either a high pocket pair or a ace with a strong kicker. Unfortunately theres no gurantees in poker....

Generally that style of player who usually bet like that, is to dominate the table, just wait for a good hand to bet, and try to eliminate them, or just wait for someone to eliminate them.

When I see such players, I just wait for a very good card such as AA = KK = AK = and I'm playing all-in too!

I just wait for strong ace or king hands and for 66+ pairs,but players like that bust quickly so if you dont find cards in first 4-5 hands,someone is going to knock them out before you take the chance

Wait for a strong hand to call their all-in or it you don;t catch it, wait for somebody else to. It will definetely happen, sooner or later.

everything is not equal, it is necessary to look at the player to not get on the set or something...

Just wait for a good hand and late position to win against them.

you need to adjust to his game, your range of call needs to be high, that will make you have 80% that is in front of them. Often they come all in with anything just in the madness of folding the chips and then staying more relaxed, so you have a great chance of being in front when you have the top of the range is too big.

And I'm bothering with many players who give all-in repeated ... no matter what hand they have. In those moments I try to hunt him ... to take advantage of the position at the table ... to try to stay alone with him. Anyway, it's gonna be hunted by the whole meal. :)

It really sucks as these shoves are usually 50bb+ shoves. While Id love to get it in with a lot of hands , it just seems absurd to even be calling with anything besides the top. Give me ATs+ and Im calling but anyways, But most of this occurs in free rolls and below $1 buyins. Funny how even $1 buy in changes many of these situations

I tend to let someone else take them out because they always manage to get some crazy draw and take my chips. :/ I'm not a really lucky poker player, so I avoid all in unless pushed in with a high pair or high suited connectors, usually.
