Beginners always going all-in

[Luvepoker]

I can understand your frustration with that because it's something I've run into more often than I want to see. These players are gonna lose long term and all we could do is wait for a decent hand and take a calculated risk going after them. Now please don't get it wrong some people be like you shouldn't throw your money into light or take a risk that's not worth taking but if they're going in say 50% of the time yeah pocket dines is not what you normally wanna go in with but it's something you should think about ace king is another one I've known people who say they won't risk it because they don't wanna lose their entire stack it can at times be a profitable play it could just also piss us off when we lose.

As a beginner, this is still somewhat normal, although I don't think it's normal for someone to call all-in on every hand.
There's a problem when someone just does that and thinks that's the whole game.

Mostly yes, beginners play all hands in a row, every hand. And therein lies their problem. But I have also met beginners who were more patient than me, although I have been playing for about 8 years now, and I think that it is such beginner players who have a chance to acquire professional skills.

I like to think of poker as having an ecosystem.

For the ecosystem to thrive you need the brine shrimp, little fish, medium fish and big fish.

Wow 🤩 that’s a great analogy .

Many beginners take a risk and play tournaments just knowing what the hands are and which one is better, but I don't think they are all beginners because there are some maniacs on the loose in the tournaments.

many beginners just don't understand how to play poker and just go with a good card and immediately bet everything to either win or lose, and they think that someone will pay this bet for them, you just need to avoid bad players and get from them when you have strong cards, don't rush to ruin the game because of bad players

Today playing some tournaments I ended up seeing some beginners who end up ruining the start of these tournaments with some very random all-in!
The truth is that for some to win others tend to lose!
But this type of thing ends up frustrating people who are unemotional about poker and who end up thinking that they don't play so well!!
We need these players the most, after all, we want the weakest hands to be called and sometimes you're just going to be unlucky!

This is why you should enter tournaments on time, the worst players often go out early and you want a chance to be the one to take their chips. You may get unlucky and lose, chalk it up to variance and make a note on them, pack your bags and get on to the next tournament. Maintaining a good attitude win or lose is key to success. Analyze your game, make sure you made the right play and get back out there and grind!

It's a lot of emotional and rational choices, having patience is fundamental to catching these fish easily in one hand.

it’s very good that people play and not programs - appreciate this time

 

[makisaa]

They can do this, they can choose the tactic they wish for their reasons. We can take the advantages we can from this situation, like every other, and wait for the chance to rise our stack!

I do not know what type of tournaments do you play, but this usually only happens on freerolls or very low buy in tournaments.

Well said sir, well said.

 

[kaynbergo]

when you call such a fish with AA all-in and it has 24 different suits from the previous position and collects 22447, these situations are slightly frustrating and there are quite a few of them

 

[valanddon]

Yes it is a fustrating way to play. They just hope they luck out and hit a hand, no skill at all.
