Why in freerolls do players usually go all in randomly?

There are several freerolls with good payouts and yet players insist on going all in with any cards! why?

I see several reasons justifying their actions: 1. Too small a win (for them) to spend their time on it 2. Really no time to play 3. They do not want to play at all 4. This tactic was chosen (according to the horoscope)

I see several reasons, among them Kamikaze has no skill to stack the game, no time to play the whole tournament, the value is low for him or is tilted for some reason ...

Because they can.

if the player has no time to play or finds the low prize simply do not play!

When multiplying the number of chips, there may be both time and desire to play)

They�re tilted from previous sessions. Mostly relying on luck to save them and double up early or in their minds just get the loss out of the way

#8 November 1st, 2019, 5:04 PM

They are players, which tend to take it for fun, do not go for the jackpot prize. So should play very tight , that is my way of thinking that has to be aware of..!!!

The question you should ask yourself is why you should or shouldn't go all in yourself, what other players do is out of your control. Besides, what difference does it make if an opponent goes all in with random cards because he does not how to play, or he doesn't have the time to play, or he is tilted, or it's his strategy to play like that?

#11 November 1st, 2019, 6:29 PM

I don't know, when I have money in my account, I can't play freerolls. So the, until on this moment. Well, let's say I have $100 - $300. With $300 in the account, you can play for a prize of $0.60, of course, but it's not very interesting. Therefore, people take risks without risking that would accumulate a large stack and compete for $20 or $19 or not to waste time and go look for profits elsewhere. I know when I have money in my account, I take more risks, especially with all-ins. So that's the way it is. Conversely, when I have $0, I will sit until the last and wait only for good hands that would at least grab $0.60.

The answer is in your question, Free.
They are not interested in playing poker, just hoping to get lucky right out of the gate. Most settle down after the first 5 or so levels others continue this type of play until they are knocked out with regard to how it affects other players. It is all part of free-rolls, accept it and play accordingly.

#14 November 1st, 2019, 6:57 PM

I think that they do this because they might not have enough time to play in the tournament.

Because most of them are really fish and don�t have to pay any buy in..Just be patient with them and play tight.

Because in freerolls plays a lot of people, and some players are trying to double or triple your Bank from the start, well, if you lose, in principle, nothing is lost

Very helpful answer to a member's question... That's why it's so helpful to have "poker experts" and "coaches" in the CC community...

This.

I do not understand why, if I look from a common sense perspective –but, I hate to say, I think that’s a waste of time. It is what it is, and people are often not even attempting to play their ‘A’game (if they have one).

It has surprised and disappointed me that freerolls of higher caliber are also hit and miss - they often feature similar behavior. A slew of all ins leads to other players making ludicrous preflop raises, followed by even more farcical raises post flop as they whiff- in other words the play degenerates into a sort of increasingly desperate farce.

I take the game seriously and erroneously project that onto others- that everyone is excited and focused to sit down and play. They aren’t.

#21 November 1st, 2019, 9:09 PM

Because its free

Why in freerolls do players usually go all in randomly?

#22 November 1st, 2019, 9:13 PM

Steal blinds is one reason or to double up possibly, I notice some of the newer players try to bulldoz their way through the freerolls,

#23 November 2nd, 2019, 2:02 AM

In my opinion it is because they are not very skilled at the fame and it is a free buy in. Some players are just looking to get lucky and build a chip stack the only way they know how, and that is to gamble it up. I wouldn't worry about these players as there play usually bites them in the ass sooner than later. Just play a good game of poker and you will be fine against these types.

#24 November 2nd, 2019, 4:00 AM

Yeah the reasons almost, might be that haven't got time to play or want to finish fast if make high stake chips

#25 November 2nd, 2019, 2:25 PM

Hello.
This is because these players are losers. They think that it is impossible to win freerolls and that any freeroll is roulette, so they usually go all in.

#26 November 2nd, 2019, 2:34 PM

I think that if a player goes all-in with any card, he plays a lot of tables and is located on the drive ...

#27 November 2nd, 2019, 2:41 PM

I guess it's the lack of rigor and discipline. or just that they are not motivating enough to play their A game. he may be lucky and touch their cards, but in the long run he will lose.

#28 November 2nd, 2019, 2:49 PM

Obviously, the reasons for this behavior are different. Usually it is tilt, or haste and lack of time. But personally I am glad to see such opponents at the table.

#29 November 2nd, 2019, 3:51 PM

This is his strategy, because if he double up he can press the whole table.
Probably he doesnt have a good skill so he need have more chips than other players to try win.

#30 November 3rd, 2019, 1:05 AM

well to go allin with any 2 is NEVER a lack of time or they wouldnt have signed up. They are basically facebook players who have no idea how poker even works. No other reason why someone would go in with just any 2. Its one thing to go in with suited connectors or 1 or 2 gappers that are suited.

#31 November 3rd, 2019, 7:52 AM

for many players, freerolls are a place where you can behave like a maniac because for them the prizes in freerolls are not significant. In freerolls they take a break from the main important tournaments.

Since you ask, I assume, it annoys you? Maybe you feel, they ruin the game and turn it into bingo? In that case maybe just play some paid tournaments instead. People tend to take these a bit more serious, and they also tend to have a more reasonable blind structure.

On 888 Poker most freerolls have 3 minute blind intervals, but if you pay just 50c, you can play a tournament with 8 minute blind intervals and a 400$ price pool every day at 6pm CET. That is a cheap 1-2 hours of quality entertainment, even if you fail to cash Why in freerolls do players usually go all in randomly?

Just call them with premiums and watch your stack grow-if it holds....glgl

#34 November 3rd, 2019, 1:52 PM

That's because most freeroll players just want to have some fun. They go all-in for not being able to play postflop and take advantage of the fact that they have not invested any money to play "depend on luck".

#35 November 3rd, 2019, 3:51 PM

I think these players are just not interested in playing freerolls. They believe that such tournaments can be played as anything, because it is free.

#36 November 3rd, 2019, 7:19 PM

CC freerolls are actually very decent. I have seen only occasionally an overly loose all ins. I was very positively surprised by it.

because they are very long and there people who play like that because they don't care

#38 November 14th, 2019, 3:09 PM

It's a whole new game. It's called Bingo Poker!

#39 December 2nd, 2019, 4:58 AM

In freerolls, there is no real cost to busting early and often. On the other hand, if you play for 3 hours then bust on the bubble, you've spent 3 hours of time and have nothing to show for it. So, some people play crazy fast and loose early on so that if they bust, they do it early, and it they survive the early rounds, they've got a huge stack and so have a big advantage before investing all that time in the later rounds.
