i went all-in today in a $3.00+.30 tourny on poker stars. I was MP3 and UTG had raised 3BB so I pushed to isolate with KK (he made this play with paint twice prior to this hand.) Here's the problem. I get FOUR calls! They were KJo, J10O, 79s, and 22. This is insane! I just want to know from you guys that have been around longer. As I get higher in buy-ins does this kind of stuff stop or is it something we just have to deal with.

A professional once told me that the last thing you want is a table FULL of bad players. One or two is a meal ticket more than that is just suicide.

So..does it get better or do i just have to adjust and get used to it?

It was a rebuy tournament wasn't it.

Atleast you got a table that was willing to gamble during the rebuy, the worst thing I know is when you get a table where everyone tries to play "normal" and no one wants to rebuy

lol...hell no...its funny you mention that i actually checked the tourny info to make sure.

cortjstr · #5 08-17-2006, 08:27 PM

what was your stack?
And yes the players get much better than this as you move up

in the long run this is very profitable.
the long run is a very long long time
your expected profit is way way higher but so is the variance.
you dont need big guns its very basic.
