freerolls

[pokerkid264]

Why is it that when there is a free foll everyone plays like a donkey... Eveyone moves all in with almost anything... Does anyone have an answer to this? why do people do this?

Interestingly enough, for players where they are likely to be less skilled than most of the people in a tournament, shoving all-in and attempting to double/triple up early is not a bad strategy. Unlike good players, they don't want to play small pots because their skill over many hands won't lead to an increase in chips (in general) but rather a decrease. For good players, those who should avoid flipping, their skill will combine over many small pots and lead to an increase. That is not the case for the poor players. They need chips and they need enough to be able to afford to lose a big pot or two and stay alive. Their best odds of doing well involve getting the chips even if they can only get in when they're not the favorite.

There is a better discussion of why this is so out there. I forget the exact place I read the discussion but basically, good players need to avoid flips for all their chips early and bad ones should seek them out. Both of those strategies play into the skill level of the player involved.

I'm just curious, why do ppl assume that if you're a good player then you should have no problem with the "donkey" stuff as it was referred to? I mean, I have seen time and again where a good player has lost a monster hand like KK or AA to someone who fell in love with junk like 2-4 just because it was suited, and the good player ends up losing. So why is it that some people feel like a good player is immune to these types of losses?

Just curious, since I saw a response that said, "If you are a good player you should have no problem." So I just wonder why this is what a lot of people think. I mean when a good player loses a small pot to something like this, granted, the better player will inevitably come back and win more than lose, but in this scenario, they are talking about all in situations...good player or bad, one cannot come back from an all in loss...unless it's a rebuy tournament lol
