These are just some of the responses you will get after reading this post and using the knowledge I am about to give you.

Simple Stuff - When you shove all-in preflop, you guarantee yourself to see all 5 cards, no getting bluffed, slow-played or outplayed.


-When you shove all-in pre-flop, you often isolate the number of opponents you have to beat to 1 or 2. So if you have A-A you don't have to worry about wasting them on a multi-way flop.

-When you shove in pre-flop later in the tournament, you can often just pick up those vital blinds and antes.

-At the final table, shove all-in in your LB if you have a decent stack. Just do it-no matter what your cards. You show aggression and may tilt your BB next to you.

- Obviously when you shove in pre-flop you are maximizing your chances of a big pot win or knocking out other players.

- If you feel that there are other players that are better than you at the table, you completely neutralize their ability to out-play you before and after the flop. In other words, you make the cards play for themselves.


Other Tips and Etc. . . Determine a hand range in relation with position and stack sizes that you feel comfortable shoving all in with.

- If you're going to play a gambling game like poker, why not maximize your chances by seeing all 5 cards?

Not much more I can add on to this. Basically all-in can become an effective strategy for any new player, it might anger your fellow patrons, but that's a sacrifice we all have to make.
