All in or Fold

[FrothyGoodness]

So recently at one of the casinos around here they came out with a Tourney "All In or Fold' and literally That's the name of the game. It was $100 buy in $5 Bounties. (was the incentive to get more people in the action) I decided screw it I like to try new things and hopped in. So everyone antes 50 at first and then the games begin. It lasted a whole 7 levels. I basically made $40 profit but I honestly enjoyed every minute of the game because it was new and EVERYBODY was nervous on what to actually do. Just a game of Blind Luck. Would you Enter a Tourney of this structure or prefer to just stick with not playing russian roulette preflop

I might be inclined to play it for lower stakes after a few beers, but I don't find this to be serious poker. There is a modest amount of skill involved, but it would probably be more fun doing blind omaha flips for $5 a person...take out the casinos cut.

I would never play this game takes all the skill out of the game and goes to much to the luck factor of the game and I don't like playing the luck part of games so I would pass on this type of game.

I recently had this experience on GGPoker. entry $ 2 blinds 0.25 / 0.10. and All in or Fold) after winning with good cards and then bluffing, I increased my stack to $ 15 but soon I could not stop, luck left me and I lost everything) interesting experience of the game)

This format is far from blind luck- It is a pure and simple ICM test.

Just practice your ICM and print money. The sustainable ROIs should be low single digits in this format, but most people just get impatient and do not pay attention to the ICM, so you can achieve much higher ROIs.

+1. The other posts in this thread are examples of why this would be a profitable game
