If you play poorly post-flop, then all-in pre-flop is fully justified!!!

I'm not a fan. There are so many better and more satisfying +EV ways to win hands post flop.

With a decent hand I think going All-In Preflop is justified. One must considered carefully though. Sometimes this pays, sometimes it doesn’t.

If I am in a loose low-stake tourney where players typically jam early and call jams early, then I will play AA or KK this way. If in a more balanced tourney or a slower paced tourney with higher stakes, I may call a jam with these hands, but I am less likely to jam initially unless there has been a lot of action on the hand. I would rather raise, and hope for further action to get more chips in the pot, before going all in. I am less inclined to do this with QQ or JJ. Probably there I will just raise and maybe call a reraise, then evaluate the flop. It really depends on the tourney type and the typical player type at that tourney. Late in most tourneys, I am more likely to jam preflop with the right hand, in the right position, against the right player.

Playing monster hands in the early stages of the tournament through a preflop push! you will lose a lot of chips that you could win. Firstly, only marginal players will call you, which are not very many, and players with the same monster hands and you will not be able to get chips from other players. Secondly, after your move, other players will make notes on you and next time they will already know what hands you are playing like this, unlike the standard raise of 3-4BB and you will get even fewer chips. So in my opinion the choice is clear.

Definitely agree with everything said here. I'm never going to fold A's and K's preflop but I'd rather evaluate the flop than be allin.

I usually play when I'm short, I always like AK too or when the player is weak so I put pressure on him.

It depends on the structure of the tournament. If it's a turbo or hyper tournament, it's best to play aggressively. But of course you have to consider your position at the table.

It all depends on the situation, the format of the game, opponents and so on. But usually it's not a very good game.

It also depends on your position at the table where you are ... you have to try.

If you are an RFI with a stack over 20bb and the tournament is not a KO, then negative. Such an action puts pressure on other players and you get a minimum. If you call a bet, a 3bet is also more appropriate (this does not take into account the details of the hand and your post-flop skills)

I will not miss the moment to throw a pair all-in with a small and medium stack. With a stack of 20bb I will make a big raise to 4bb.

If I understand that I play worse postflop than my opponent, then all-in preflop with AK, AQ, medium pocket pairs is quite normal.

all in

:D Personally I prefer to go all in before the flop To prevent players who have bad hands from choosing good hands and being able to win the hand as such :D

Of course, you can go all-in preflop with a monster hand, it definitely won't be a mistake, but whether your all-in will be paid for is another question! You will most likely be paid only by the hands of the monsters, and the rest will fold! Everyone has different strategies for playing monster hands, but going all-in is definitely not a mistake! Good luck at the tables!

Allin preflop in early tournaments is very dangerous and disproportionate to the goal you want to achieve and win the tournament.

Sometimes this solution is the best possible option, but many factors need to be considered. In general, in my opinion, this is one of the possible options.
