What do you do with the push every hand guy?

[thehangdude]

I ran into one of these guys on a nl online cash table. Every hand he was throwing in his entire stack of hundreds of dollars. If he got beat, he'd come back with another stack. I got a good hand, and went up against him, only to lose $250 on a bad beat. I just wish there was valuable lesson there, somewhere.

We all face these players in MTTs. How we approach it depends on what we are looking for in the tournament. If I get a premium hand, I would call him. Sometimes I'll try to get in when others call him to triple up (or more). Sometimes I'll just wait it out until he busts.

The Villains that frustrate me the most are the players that fold most hands, but when they get in, they go all in. They might have a KJ, or AA, or 67s. You don't know if your TT has them beat, if they are beating you, or if it a coin flip, and there is no way of knowing unless you risk your entire stack.

I tend narrow my range and limp with big hands and let them shove. I am happy to get it in good. If I get a bad beat, just reload and back at it again. I actually enjoy playing against these type of players because they will end up busting and I am happy to take what stack they are willing to give away.

 

[DenPit]

all in guy

You just wait for the right time and hopefully you knock them out is my suggestion.

 

[Pokerishard]

Depends off the stack and how the opponents are playing.............Is not a basic rule about this in my opinien....Make the right move in right moment.

 

[riff_raff312]

i will wait till i get the right cards and call that's really the only thing you can do

 

[zorro222_zorro222]

be patient and hope they don't get lucky when you do pick up a hand...

 

[darionara]

I always try to play calmly when I have a pair in hand and if it's good I try to double my stack my serious push an AA or KK pair THERE I GO WITH EVERYTHING​

 

[peterbsnyder]

You have to stand up to players like that, I have found going all in against those type of players is the only way to get some relief from them.

 

[manzanillo53]

I have seen this a lot, the only suggestion I have is wait until you have a monster, just call and wait for the all in. And yes I get beat by just dumb luck a lot. I am learning.

 

[azforlife]

We've all seen this guy in the freerolls and low $ tournaments. He's the one pushing all-in 95% of his hands and somehow is high stack on the table. How do you combat this guy without getting wiped out by his unbelievable dumb luck?

Play TAG asf meaning that if he's in a hand with you & you have sosomething strying with, a draw in board call him down

 

[63burner]

Feed him the blinds, set a trap, play your game..

Your "crazy" opponent,. he wants to get under your skin, annoy you; it's not about the game or the money.
Be smarter, be patient. If your cards stink, give him the blinds, not a penny more. If you have cards and can set a trap, go for it, taking a shove-heavy player's stack with good rational play is sweet revenge.

 

[jamielane0331]

I just wait it out until I have a 9-Face suited or T-face anything, if nobody else calls i call and flip the coin basically

 

[Gaviria8]

Let that player eliminate me from the tournament

 

[lexyyxel]

In tournament that type rarely stand till the 3rd blind.
Be patient, if you call don't forget he can have any cards so you can lose with 22277!

 

[SightUnseen]

Just wait patiently. If it's a Tournament or Cash the same applies. Consider your range vs there's and if you'd like to gamble good luck. Tournaments are a marathon, not a race, so there's no reason to put yourself in dicey spots early on unless you're looking to build a stack early or rebuy. Good luck.

 

[royalflush122096]

I would just only play the premium hands then I face a maniac so that I could easily double up or bust the maniac depending on the amount of chips the person has!

 

[andreypuch]

Such people of course are freaking out. And they are always lucky, no matter how improbable.))) You sit there and think, well, this guy can't behave like this. I am convinced that such players rarely reach the final table. (Maybe I'm wrong). Waiting for the best hand - and ... Push to Push.

 

[Snake2007]

If I have a good or strong hand I go on and play until the last card, if I don't retire because there is no point in playing something that is not good.

 

[LukasynoACAB]

Iam just waiting for a good set of cards and trying to beat him ....

 

[zlajazlaja2]

there are a lot of them with that play style, but I'm waiting for a nice card or maybe a pair of handhelds and try to get everything they have so can't play it anymore

 

[keykeyas]

waiting for a nice hand and push him

Playing against him is easy. Wait for the right hand, then double up. If he beats u, he beats u. I was up against a moron like that who went all in. Some other dude on the table was bitching at him and he was like "call me, jerk" but he forgot he was in a venom freeroll in which once the other dude tripled up through him, he'd be a moron to call any more.

 

[BodhiLummox]

Wait to pounce.

Much like many of the others, wait for your moment and pounce. Play tighter and above all, don't let his recklessness throw you off your game. Often, 'the pusher' usually has an annoying table presence; stay calm and keep your cool. As someone else mentioned on this thread, there are usually 7 others at the table who feel the way you do! Good luck!

Breathe!!!!!!

 

[ammje]

Hello, I would do the same thing that most of my colleagues have said, wait for a good hand, and accept all the chips of this player, since he wants to give them away, since we accept them hamably.

In tournaments there are a lot of morons who push with any two cards. In order to call them you need to have a monster, but having a monster in your hands is not a fact that your hand will be the best at showdown. I myself moved with garbage like 72 or 64.
