I just lost in a tournament with $ 3.30 bounty in three hands I lost with AK AA and KK in this particular tournament it is for the reward I know, but anyway, from 5 villains who saw an all-in for example, who hopes to get who enters With 39 or 58 as cards, it is really incredible, besides that many players went to the center with everything and my chances of losing increase like this, but there are others who always go as loser and will lose except for a miracle.
It really is not understood sometimes, there are simply people who play just to go there

depending on the tournament, I think you have to take more risks.

Because people have no patience. And want to win the tournament by going all every hand.

in some freerolls with huge fields

the 'go big or go home ' plan makes some sense . also ,when blinds go up quickly ,cautious and patient play is not really rewarded .

I was wondering the same thing why all in every other hand pre flop first i thought they were just wreckless and did not care about the tournament but then the more i watched i realised that it is actually a sign of weakness these players are inexperienced and struggle to play flops when these players play a flop with their ace high and do not hit they are puzzled and do not know how to proceed from there so therefore it is easier for them just to push all in and either get lucky and hope for the best or hit any pair on a flop and just push anyway regardless.

these players win 75% of hands, even playing on 23 and 27, they are very lucky

From the excess of excitement and the desire to get everything at once

Lots of good reasons, none of which really matter. What does matter is that you recognize that it's going on and react accordingly - i.e., shove (or shove back) with your stronger hands (pretty much anything better than 72o), then move on to something else. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

going all in does not need any thought at all, no skill required, so that probably is your answer.

I think they do it to get a huge bankroll early then try to dominate to the top. Sad how often it works out for them

Because these are weak players and they only know how to build the stack on luck.

If it’s freerolls- na don’t bother, too many non-legitimate reasons, as already mentioned. If it’s rebuy’s then there’s a bit of strategy to it especially when you have an idea about your opponents calling vs folding tendencies. Also depends on the type of tournament you’re playing and it’s speed & blind structure. You’ll noticed as you go deeper into the tournament that there will be more preflop play and you will rarely see the flop due to stack sizes vs. the blinds. The average chip stack size will only be about 15-10 blinds. So yeah, a lot more shoving going on and and an increase of variance.

Well, there are a lot of reasons for that. Lack of knowledge can be misleading, or the tournament might be too short. Don't take it personally; they're just trying to take your money, and you're trying to take theirs. Haha!

They are just in it for the excitement and do not really play to make serious money you just have to take advantage of them and only play great hands

Each player is different and has different objectives, they are surely players who want to play and have fun, do not care about money, and always want to be active if they do not get bored.

Hi. Today is one of those days when the variance made me lose more than once against these characters, the typical case of AA or KK losing against 7-2o or similar. So, regardless of the fact that everyone can play as they wish, I wonder what is the motivation for these types of movements? I can't understand it, it's as if instead of playing poker they play in a slot machine. Maybe someone can enlighten me about this phenomenon.
There are different situations of players: someone needs to go to the market, or to take a walk with the dog, or to take a walk with his girlfriend. In general, urgent matters besides poker are the main reason for all-ins with "72". Sometimes, of course, a player can lose a large amount of money in betting, casino or cash games and then play tournaments in full tilt. We are all human, and we are all subject to emotions to one degree or another. :unsure:

Sometimes I do this myself. For one simple reason . I'm not in the mood and don't want to play .

Or in the last hand I got a Bad Beat. And what’s surprising is that sometimes you win with a trashy hand.

The allin move is such a powerful play, that denotes strength as a bluff, and preflop gives newer players a greater chance by increasing variance.

Maybe they play this stake for fun so they don't care , cause usually they play higher stakes . This phenomenon is not rare at freerolls where anybody plays ATC and it's a shove festival by all means .

I guess it's to pass the difficult decision onto the other person. There are also individuals who don't like to be pressured, but I'm not really sure. it's very trendy nowaydays.

This is good if you go all in with a positive EV. Let them challenge premium cards!
