The all-in pre-flop....I'm trying to understand the logic behind it. It's a possible quick come-up that comes with a possible quick elimination. Also, if you do have 2 really good cards and nobody calls, then you just idiotically wasted a good hand. I find that a lot of times, MTT's (towards the end), turn into this all-in luckfest where if you want to get any action before your stack dwindles to nothing, you have to just pick a hand and hope for the best. I've been told that people have the theory that it's just a luckfest when in actual fact, when effective blinds start getting 25bb and lower this is where you will notice the stronger/weaker players.
Usually if you have a very good end game, you will fair a ton better than your average player and the luckfest as you describe is actually a veryskillful end game process in which the better players will always come out on top over the long term. SKill doesn't go out the window at all; only if you're actually one of the players who can't play end game optimally then it does become a much more gambling/luck process for yourself.
Coupla things - are these really the stronger/experienced/good players doing this? And if so, can someone explain this optimal end-game play, and how it isn't mostly luck?
