Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6958512, member: 430261"] You will always get players that cannot be bothered to Play Poker seriously enough, and will go all in with anything relying on Luck to get them into the Money. Some times it works for them but not always, There are times when you need to play aggressive to be able to take down pots and build your chip stack, without seeing a flop, and pushing all-in is one way to do this. I will on some occasions limp with decent holdings in order to (a) get into the pot cheaply, and (b) give the impression I am holding a weak hand, and don't feel comfortable playing it. In some circumstances I will do this in late position hoping for someone to shove from the SB or BB, then call depending on how many other players are calling. To be honest if you are close to the Money bubble and there are 2 or 3 limpers before you,, and the BB pushes all-in I am not calling if 2 of the other players are calling and they have bigger stack's than me, it's just suicide even with Pocket Aces. If however I have the bigger Stack I will call to try and reduce the number of players and hopefully get into the money with anything half decent. This is called strategy! Knowing when to Hold them and Knowing when to Fold them, is a big part of playing Poker. Sure you do fold the winning hand on some of these occasions, but folding and conserving your stack for a better opportunity is always advisable if there are too many players involved in the pot, I have lost count how many times I have called all-ins holding A/A and still getting knocked out of the game by a lucky player holding an inferior hand. That's Life! That's Poker! [/QUOTE]
