Anyone play any of the all-in-or-fold sngs on merge? If so, just curious what you think is the best strategy. I assume it's the standard play tight in the beginning, and open up your range and push against tight players late game, like most sngs. Just wanting to know if people think the strategy is different. I think I might start playing these tomorrow to see what it's like.
I don't like em at all but, my girl loves em. Tho, she loves slot machines too. She's won 2 of the few she's played. I'd assume that if you have good push range and know your opponent they could be good. But, still too much gamble for me.
I like to play them when I am burnt out on hold em, they are a great change of pace. I have only done the MTT's they have not the SNGs and have been okay playing tight. I suppose the SNGs you would need a different strategy to deal with the regs.
i think the all in or fold game is a good game....why i think its good is b.c it allows to people overplay any ace rag king 10-ace....it is obv a strategy game but often newbies try to take advantage and they get popped....there is more than just an all in in holdem.....people blow their loads all the time.....i see it alot "slowplay" but not as often as you should see.....which again i thank all the tards who only have the all in feature
Hate this Tourneys. Dont play it , play Lotto
yeah why in allin all the time
never tried these so far and donīt know if I should
That was basically my strategy TheBeesKnees. Play tight in the beginning and loosen up when your in position and the blinds build. I placed 3rd out of 10 in a $2 one so still cashed out but you have to be very patient.
Like sendmecookies, I too do not like to play the all in or fold games. Whenever I get tired of holdem, I look for the Omaha tables. I had never played omaha before, ever but since I started playing online, I love it. My all time favorite game is the H.O.R.S.E. freerolls!
If you suck at post flop poker then I guess this would be a good option. Sounds like luck is just as important as strategy in this game. Things like having the button (position) are close to meaningless and making moves like three betting and squeezing would be nonexistent.
One thing I suspect you would want to do is play less of the implied odds hands. Ones like baby pockets and small connectors. 22 is fine to play if you are deep normally. Flop a set you can stack someone ... if you miss you can get away cheap. This game there is no getting away cheap ... its all or nothing.
These tourneys are OK for getting your shoving ranges down but I really don't like the fact that I can't really play my suited connectors :(!

I have never played in these types of tournaments.
Donīt think that I will try them, sounds boring
Just don't play them. They are stupid.
i would play it if it wasnt so much, should be less money, better odds playing anything else.
i played one a long time ago and got 2nd, BUT i felt lucky to get out with the cash and iw oulndt play those ever again LOL it was a complete luckfest,, and i got lucky,,, just go play bingo at casino,, just as goood lol:)
the double ups are a good addition but all in or fold are a skill not needed fest
not much skill at all in these,,,choose not to play,,,good luck
my strategy for these is to NEVER, EVER play one
no skill at all in the all-in or fold tournys. i played one on carbon and it lasted like 15 hands and it was over.
good strategy towards the end of a tourney with less than 10 bb's
sounds like alot fun any pockets im shipping it!
I agree all in strategy for a tournament is all luck. Though you can minimize some of that by having position when you do shove. But it is better to loosen up and play all in when down to 3-4 players. Plus, it helps if you try to fold a bit, people see you as a rock and will only play when you have something. Then you can get away with the 7-2 all in shove.
Yeah, less than 10 rounds of blinds added together plus the antes (multipled by people left at the table) . In Example Blinds 500/1000 with 100 ante at the final table of nine would be: 100a x 9 = 900 + 1500 blinds = 2400 how much you every round when the button is on you. So you stack needs to be over 24,000.
Less than that, and bigger stacks at table might not get scared out by you and it won't make much of a difference if you do double. For example, if you take the above example and your stack is only 10,000, doubling up would only get you 20,000, still under the 10B/a rule.
And don't ask me why i'm rambling.
all in is for losers
If i had a bankroll to reduce,, then I'd play,,,lol
yeah just wait til u play one on carbon. everyone is all in almost every hand. but hey its a way to cut the field down real fast
That's the best statement for these games, just be patient and let the rest sink their ships.Quote:

Players with a healthy bank roll play these for the thrill, it's not a skill tournament. I don't think it has to do with being a winning or a losing player. Not saying that a few players might be on tilt and donk off the rest of their roll trying to double up.Quote:
