Have you often encountered the urge to go allin?

[vov4ik]

I think that the T8 card is not very good for playing all-in, but it happens that it plays very well, but this rarely happens, but playing such an all-in card is dangerous, I mostly play or discard such a card or when I play there is a small bet in the game, it is better to wait for good AJ-AQ-AK- cards in the game and play!

whether it is time all-in

I think that even if you bet all-in, if you don’t have a card for a long time, you only need to do it on a fairly good card. A pot with a kicker 8 and below is not, therefore you need to be patient and wait for a suitable arrival strong hands. Aces with jack and higher and a pair of at least two nines. In other cases, I consider placing the entire personal stack in the center of the table as premature and reckless. The only exception in this situation is the approach of the big blinds - compared to your stack. When you can already ignore your long patience and put all-in with a weaker card and even a pair of 5-5.:deal::deal::deal:

The urge is strong especially in a long session when you get decent cards but nothing hits for you but you have to fight the urges and play good cards, the range changes when there are only 2 or 3 players and you can't get there playing crap.

situation: you have had to fold bad cards for a while now (for example 20 last hands), then after the drought, you are dealt Ace with 8 or lower kicker (or some other hand just outside of your normal range). these seem good enough cards to continue...
do you have a urge to go allin?
do you give up and stick to your usual range?
is position the splitting factor?


maybe someone can describe their preference choice for this kind of situations?

When I log in to ACR the first thing I do is jump into the $10 freerolls.. It is kinda like warming up for a game. I try to play "my way" and do the right things.. Not jumping into the 'allin' bandwagon that starts these games(unless a monster hand).. Raising in late position if I have a hand even if 4 people have limped in before me.. I do try to stick to a game plan.. Position is a factor..

If I cannot control myself.. IE playing with discipline, then I'm damn sure not throwing money into tournaments.

Discipline discipline discipline.. WHICH means after 20 hands and I get that A 8(or lower) no way we should be going all in.

For you they may seem to be 'good enough', for me: it's just another bad hand, to be dealt with accordingly. Going all-in with garbage is very often suicide.

 

[Zvezda kz]

Perhaps this is the need for everything that I had in the first year of playing in online, and mostly only in freerolls.
But over the years, in many cases in the game, I had a certain algorithm for playing on my cards. This is due to the increasing knowledge about poker and the psychology of players.

 

[gillbates21]

just to clear it a little more...

the question is about THE URGE to go for a pre-flop all-in, NOT about if it is correct to do it or not.

 

[P86]

When i'm playing my best poker and running good i never have he urge of going Allin sometimes i win tournaments without shoving

I think you should stick to your ranges(AA-99,AK/s-AQ/s) & switch your ranges to (98s,TK/s,JQ/s) once a while, so you wont have to fold so many hands , card EV% + position
its better to switch ranges than lose because of chip bleeds-

All In

Really don't get the urge to go all in after having to fold "rags" for multiple hands. Have found over the years that patience on waiting for playable cards works best for me. Understand that a "bluff" once in awhile is part of the game as well but not going all in from having to fold multiple times.

best of luck to ya !

 

[freestocks]

If you're getting blinded out, all in with A,8 is a good move.

 

[xexeu]

I believe that this is the main problem I have a desire to go all in in certain respect that 90% of the times of anger

 

[martina pinto]

I play a lot of spin go there if I go all in

 

[eniseysmail]

I think when playing for real money - this should be a well thought out decision. And there must be a strong assurance of victory.

 

[Cody5991]

I don’t ever go all in just to go all in and don’t generally have an urge to do so I will go all in on occasion if I want to see if I am right on what a person has even if I lose

 

[Vasilii813]

Message 6'

I go all-in in such a situation when for example on the bubble in late position before me no one has put anything and I have only 5 or 6 blinds and if someone before me went all-in having only 2-3 blinds or when there is no exit in the bank half stack Like that

 

[livyst123]

That is one of the key disciplines you have to overcome or else it will lead to getting stacked and you will be sad and punch screen multiple times saying why why. ;0

 

[eniseysmail]

The kicker you offer is certainly not very good to go all-in.

 

[whitesmoke420]

For sure. Anytime I get to low or just plain 'ol angry. haa I try to play smart as best I can but sometimes your forced to just risk it all.

 

[gillbates21]

now that i've had some more experience with playing against CC members, i've realized that original sample of 20 hands might be just too low for some people.

so maybe it would clarify to tell how long of a streak of unplayable cards do you feel is enough to get the thought of "Any next hand with A and 8 or higher will do"?

today i battled with the urge often, and was rewarded with 3rd place at CC freeroll (and top500 at 10k spin freeroll - 20k players).

 

[Eric Salvador]

Today I was playing live at a casino where going card dead and catching a hand had me go all/in where I could’ve found a fold. It’s a $1/$2 game. The button straddles for $4
SB-folds BB calls UTG calls I raise to $18 with QQ, C/O calls and Button raises $60 it folds to me. I’m can easily put him on AA or KK but he’s fairly active. I shortly considered fold and the just shove because well I’ve been card dead for two hours. Should’ve fold and found a better spot

 

[Ovuvuevuevue]

It depends on stack size but yeah there are times where one needs to be more patient but shoves anyway because of earlier bad hands. Players need to remind themselves that they need to be mathematically correct every hand, not just whenever they want

 

[TravelerLloyd]

I am the all in king, thats what I do, I aint got time to play, they want to play, I come to gamble, all in baby and hope for the best!

[eberetta1]

Depends on if it is a freeroll. My time is worth money. Many times, after 45 minutes of crap cards, I am not going to continue wasting my time. I will allow my time to be worth a buck an hour for poker.

So yeah. Not afraid to do the all in with A rag in the game that is not going my way. Too much of my life has been spent and wasted bubbling 3 times a week because I sit there like a frog on a log.

 

[Barbarrossa]

I too get the urge to go all in when I finally get a playable hand.. But honestly you must resist resist resist! The name of the game is discipline.. if you can't be disciplined then you are forever going to be in the ranks of those 'donating' to the bottom line of 'more disciplined' players.. By no means do I always resist the urge.. but if you want that graph to trend upwards instead of into the pit of red.. take a deep breath and play the cards the way you know you should.
