They believe they can win with a gut shot
No so smart players

Or they are sometimes fed up

Even famous David Sklansky talked about such a move, though he meant only premium hands, but did you read it nowadays?))) that a weak player needs to go all-in with such hands when he doesn't know how to play them. I undertake to judge such players that they are weak, firstly, and secondly, they clearly get high when luck is on their side, even with such rubbish...;)
Hi. Today is one of those days when the variance made me lose more than once against these characters, the typical case of AA or KK losing against 7-2o or similar. So, regardless of the fact that everyone can play as they wish, I wonder what is the motivation for these types of movements? I can't understand it, it's as if instead of playing poker they play in a slot machine. Maybe someone can enlighten me about this phenomenon.

Players crazy about all-in ... What to say .. luck..shadow .. I think it's really anxiety. They don't control their anxiety about taking Premium cards ... sometimes they win more often, they lose to smaller cards ... well that's how life is ...
Who never gave ALL in lol

The ones doing this all of the time are also the ones that usually want you to hurry up and make your move. Too impatient to learn how to play, so they have no idea what to do after the flop.

I understand going all in with AK AQ pre flop, but I've seen players going all in with 66, 77, TT, and even 22

It seems to me that after a loss some people fall into tilt and try to increase their bank or double in this way like in a casino.

That's exactly what they play at roulette. If you're lucky, you won't be. They are not sorry for their money, and I think they are not so-so players. And as a rule, these players are drunk. My opinion.

depends of situtations... I use to think as well.. why people goes all in ... as I used to mostly play freerolls.. or freerolls with reentrys....
Conclusion... a bit of strategy having sometime good hands... where you can either wni the hand or "steal" blinds... I would do it in freerolls I have nothing to lose... and good oportunity to get an advantage on tournament.

Kind of different from mtts $11+ players play more seriously... you wont see that ( all ins ) in tournaments or sit and goes with actual cost for entry.

I often go all-in when I'm trying to isolate a pot. Especially when people limp or call behind. Sometimes, when you're ahead of other players in a tournament, you force smaller chips to make a tough decision to risk their tournament life on it.

Obviously, the program of random numbers is often on the side of the aggressors:)

This is because most people want to get everything as quickly as possible. Preferably right away. But this does not happen in life or in poker.

I think that alcohol has its participation in all-in players game, but thay can be considered as chip sponsors .

I don't know when I see ollin AA vs 94 online. And the one who went with 94. then I think that something is wrong here, and the truth is on the Board 56439. I think so, but it's still rare. I don't think we should be seriously afraid of this. This is rare. Personally, I do not come across such. Our game depends on us.

Several causes... (and headaches)
Some sort of "rational players":

* too many limpers at a table
* strong hand and overconfidence
* to isolate the pot
Donk players
* just for fun
* overvalue of A3 o 76s....
* rush or anxiety
* russian rullette pro players....

It´s annoying at the beginning of the game. I used to see a lot of them playing all-in at level 1 in freeroll tournament and low-bets table..but too much less at money tournaments.

What to do against them would be my question -.-

Hard to fold QQ JJ at level 1 without information haha.

the post flop is much more complex and at the beginning of the tournament, some believe that any move can be made to double the stack.
It's just my opinion.

In the era of rebuys, it makes sense to try and double up as quickly as you can. If you lose, rebuy, rinse and repeat.

I been at a table where I seen players like this. I have been a victim as well losing with the best hand to there garbage. Happens everywhere, hard to beat. All I can say is take notes on the player and move on. :) Try and try again.

I love meeting these players around the table, I will never complain about them, of course that at one time or another they will win a hand playing wrong or give us a bad one with speculative hands. But the more people like that in poker the better, because in the long run his game is deficient and he will lose a lot of money :D:D:D
