Man, if there are a player or many players who bet all everytime u can't miss the chance to catch them. When u think ur cards are good, take a deep breath and hit call! But I suggest u observe first. See 3, 4 or 5 all ins before pay it.

ALL In maniacs is an eternal sickness Open school. with such people need to play very tight and wait for a good hand. I had one game where this was ALL IN manyak an hour. who made the call, he won all. just lucky

You can make profits of them, just if you are more carefull and more consentrated from them. Stay calm and study the maths.

yeah, wait for good cards, but luck is a b****

Once i had an awesome evening, won every single hand. I could go all in with unsuited 2 and 7 and won with fh or a poker... And if anyone had a flush i had a straight flush... Winning hands for ~2 hours long... The others hated me :D that was soon after beginning to play, i made about 350€ on a 2c/5c table

OFC luck comes into play but IMO when you finally get your monster it's pretty easy to get money from maniacs

Very rare in live tournaments, real common online. Everybody stays away for a while till getting a premium hand, preferrably a very high pair. PUsh and then hope for the best

A lot of good advice here, and these guys/gals have covered every thing, which is that you should not play like they are. Wait and Wait some more. I may not quote this completely right and I just went to FB trying to find it. Maybe someone can let us know who said this. "It says that your greatness is not shown by the cards you play, but by the cards you fold" GL to you

Take it easy, just go with monster cards or wait a little crazy these are usually removed soon if if one of those win many chips be careful as you already know his game.

Especially I'm waiting for somebody to eliminate these players. I'm playing against them only with monster hands.

you wait it out watched a guy in 3am bet all in 1.10 rebuy for a tune of 15-25 dollars he had to win 1st place which he didnt to get his money back. second place he woulda came out even but continued to play to aggressive and moneyed nothing losing a good amount of cash at least to me.

I did well waited on pockets got taken out same time as this person when third player had a better pocket pair playing behind me as I was playing the guy who was too aggressive. So waiting worked out even though neither of us moneyed this event I lost 2.20 over his loss of 15 to 25 bucks

frustrating! Just have to weigh your hand and your need for chips.. with a little luck you will have it all in with the best of it and hope it don't turn into some lucky bs! I personally hate tournaments because of this.. People over play everything! The odds are still there but with so many players involved in it some times the way people win is just to be lucky. All ins with AK and 33 preflop are pretty common.. I try to let the hands come to me and fold AK to big raises if I don't need the chips.

Well one can find quite few maniacs in micro buy-in STG tournaments too. So it is good to know how to deal with them. :)
