I have been playing 5 to 10 dollars sit and go at bodog. I have been running imto people that go all in every hand. I would like nothing better then to bust these donks, but what are good hand to call them on. I call A Q they will 5-8 and draw me out. sigh..I am venting but also wanting to know stragegys to beat them. I tend to play tight until I get hand, but even then I feel like I will gte outdrawn. Is that the way it is at all online site? :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

online poker is rigged right?(sw)

go to the strategy section and get some advice there. You have to remeber even if you have aq vs. 85., its 60% vs. 40%. steal more blinds and antes, take more flops, and try to out play ppl on the flop, turn, and river. Don't just wait to go allin pf with a "good hand", get in there and gamble and put ppl to decisions, you want your opponent to make the tough decisions not yourself.

would I be better off playing a higher sit and go..where the competition would be better and more tight?

tell me you're joking?

At the higher level sit n goes people will play tighter. There's also more conservative players at full tilt and pokerstars.

Better competition, in no way, implies tighter competition. The higher you go in levels, the stronger/more skilled the competition is going to be . Once you understand that it's not the cards in your hand that really matter, then you'll be ready to move up. For now, concentrate on trying to observe your opponents actions, then making decisions. Are they loose/tight/aggressive/weak? Take notes, remember what they showdown with. The lower buy-in sng's are going to have more of the less-skilled MIS (move in specialists), but that's where you must start. If you think that going up in levels will solve your problem, you might as well donate your money to charity.CheersD

Not solve my problems...just that when the stakes are really low..I notice that people at bodog..not all but some tend to go all in every single hand...unless I havea premium hand...I cant really call right? so my theory is that if I played a little higher sit and go..at least I can try and beat someone seeing a flop. I am not stupid and know that I will have better competition. But at least I think my odds would be better if I can at least see a flop without having to committ all my chips..that is all I am saying

Yes, play the 50NL SNG's on stars.

I understand what you are saying. At the$5 sng it's not uncommon to see three people all in on the first hand. Some players just like to take a shot at doubling up early, and then hope to bulldoze the table the rest of the way. It's highly unlikely that (after the first couple hands, even first round) that you are at a sng where every hand has someone all in. My suggestion to you is, sign up, and sit out for 10 hands, or fold everything that isn't aces or kings. I guarantee that if you wait out the fools, and only get it in with premium hands early (AQ not being one of them), you will find the competition up to your standards later in the sng.D

If someone goes all in every hand heads up, I seriously can't think of an easier oponent to beat. That said.Your probobly better off not playing unless you have very good emotional control.

it's really simplewait for a hand...if they out draw you then say "that's poker"AAKKQQJJOR ANY COMBINATION OF THESE SUITED!!or not suited for that matter!

[trumpman84]

meh, I can think of much easier opponents to beat heads up..namely..opponents that play heads up as if its full ring. If you are playing the worst player in the world heads up who just goes all in every hand, you cant be more than like a 2-1 favorite against him, whereas if you play someone who's too tight and folds way too much to aggression, a good player will have a much bigger edge...this is of course...in heads up play,where the blinds keep eating you up if you fold to a bad players all-in every hand waiting for a large edge that might not come. The more people you add to a game, the bigger favorite you are over the bad player who moves all in because you can afford to wait for a hand against that guy while attacking the other players and you are less a favorite over the tighty who is now playing closer to correct.

Didn't mean to upset anyone especially over the holidays.Peace

Super funny until the double post. It's like saying "And the bartender goes, "Hey, That's not an onion! Oh wait yeah, they had gone into a bar, and there was a priest with the rabbi and shah, and then..."
