Those open freerolls offer some cash, for sure. But i'm not all that excited about playing 10.000 people for a 100-200 USD win (the prices on Bet365 and Ladbrokes which i often keep open without actually playing). At the same time, getting an edge for that money makes it a bit more interesting :-)
Yeah I agree. Sometimes its worth going all in early if you are not that interested in the tournament, sometimes it pays off and if it doesnt then who cares cos you wasnt that interested anyway!
I was playing Ladborkes last night and went all in first hand cos I was playing Absolute and pokerstars. One the first hand with A5 and flopped an Ace, ... | | Read Entire Entry |

You said something important: do those players know what to do farther in the tourney? do they know another strategie than going all in?. The answer is ery obvious (in most of the cases), but if you donīt believe me try to see like 3 players on a tourney going all in in the first hand, and then follow them along the tourney. Tell me in wich place do they finish (maybe iīm wrong and they place in the money, but i donīt think so).

I don't agree with that style either. The only time I would go all in prefolp on the first hand is with AA. I don't like getting kicked out of tournaments early. I hate when I have a good starting hand and people start going all in first hand. Most of the time the players who play that way, don't last long.

I'm wondering if anyone here uses this style with any success? You know who they are, the all-in guy 1st and 2nd hands into the tourny. If you win you have a big chip lead but do you know how to play with that lead? Do you try to be a bully or tighten up and pick your spots? I don't agree with this but it never fails, every tourny (freeroll, play or real) there they are sliding all of their chips in. To me it doesn't make sense to bet your tourny life for $15-30 in blinds.
