Do you just give up?

wagon596 · May 9, 2019

I notice that in freerolls and buy-in tournaments players who lose most of their stacks, just give up and go all-in with anything the next hand. For me 99% of the time I don't give up.. To me it's a challenge to try and comeback. How about you?

Of course I've had a lot of practice playing with the short stack.

Dailon Arroyo Blandon · May 9, 2019

You are right ... I have also seen that behavior in many players ... they do not like to lose and can not deal with it to such an extent that when they feel with little stack they prefer to play everything and go all-in with any hand. .. do not fight or try to wait a bit and try to recover ...!

Im a victim of tilt too. I knew i was upset about loosing to a flush with a AAA the hand before. This time it worked out well.

Ship or sit out and leave.. I always tag and note these players.. usefull info!

I was giving up before but since I won from 9BB once, I never give up. You never know when someone will shove maybe to rebuy or bluff and use it to grow yours!!!

Keep on the good play!

I play a lot of freerolls. I normally don't give up even if I have a short stack. Especially when the blinds are bigger. All you need is a couple of hands and you are right back in the mix of things.

One mistake usually to loss and leads, in such cases, it remains only to wait a good hand. I give up usually this fight ner is not for me, nerves.

I have noticed this type of gameplay a lot as well

People will lose a huge pot, be left with under 10-12 bbs, and jam any two cards the very next hand

I do not give up as well, and I try to make a comeback

Did it before the other night when I was down to 6BBs.. I ended up final tabling and busted 7th

Yes I've come back from small stack and there's always a chance...

I think most players who've used the MIT Training slides will go via their recommendation "When Stack gets as low as 10bb its best to go all-in on better two cards" link to literature HERE

But Don't You Love It When This Happens?

I was in a MTT satellite online where I was all in posting my big blind and then ran it up to a little over a million in chips. Also won a small 35 person live tourney where I had 1 BB left. Never give up and isolate those who do!

AlbieTross · May 11, 2019

If I'm really upset about it I'll go on tilt and do exactly that.
If I'm deep in a tournament sometimes I'll try and recover.

Blakepc91 · May 11, 2019

Never give up. Chip in a chair baby.

dedok0525 · May 12, 2019

It depends on the stage of the tournament, and it depends on Bajina tournament. Sometimes just a pity to throw away Bains starting hands to play. At the micro-stakes always see these players. Playing middle limits, I see that the players who are losing most of his stack trying to rebuild a comfortable game stack. And a lot of freerolls which players who do not care cards, they irayut all-rounder.

andi08 · May 12, 2019

it's different with me. When you get angry, it happens quickly to go allin the way. In some exceptions I managed to keep calm. But in my statistics I only made a comeback in 25% of the cases.

Djangofreeman · May 12, 2019

In the freerolls I go all in everytime when I'm short stack with any high card and pairs

Bluffzone68 · May 12, 2019

Hello

I have been in this situation a lot too.
Losing a good starting hand at the river and being reduced to a pauper.

But than depending at what stage I am in blinds I react accordingly.

If at early stage I would shove all in with atleast one high card (10+)

But if I am deep than I play with patience and try to fight back.

jfmcd86 · May 12, 2019

I do this whenever im 5BB and under.

QA77 · May 12, 2019

It depends on the tournament and stack size. If my stack is under 20 bigs, I'll be shoving especially early in a tournament where the avg bb is over 100 bbs. But not shoving just any two cards.

Numerous times I was a low stack after a bad beat and have come back and made the final table and even won. Never give up, remember a chip and a chair is all you need.

jrgum25 · May 12, 2019

I never give up because you're never down and out until your chips are gone. A chip and a chair as the saying goes. If I get a premium hand I do go all in if I'm short stacked in hopes that I double up but I don't just go all in with any two cards after losing most of my stack.

619Leafs · May 12, 2019

I don't give up however the other alternative is if you wait too long to recover no matter how good of a starting hand you have too many players calling your small stack therefore minimal chance of winning.

Alex70793 · May 13, 2019

Never give up, fight to the last chip. Yesterday played in the tournament, was not initially taken, on the bubble I was left half blind in the end, I not only got the money and went deep in the tournament, ranked 17th.

Luan · May 13, 2019

I'll give up my goal even if I lose some chips, I'm looking for my mistakes and concert and I'm going back to the tournament!

Tyler Finnimore · May 13, 2019

yeah giving up is stupid you might as well try

dark IPA · May 21, 2019

i like comebacks a lot, not only my own but also my opponents. Such situations are incredibly motivating, so i wish you all spectacular comebacks!

Erpherk · May 21, 2019

I can sometimes be a short stack master... i recall a few times i was dead last in chips and came back to win the tournament, If you got patience and wait for the best spots you should b doing well. I got that other side of me tho, i only got 15 bb left and just lost 90% of my stack i must go all in here lol.

Do you just give up?
