ALL IN

I've been playing a strategy of ALLIN preflop on percentage after bets have been made by other people.
It's been extremely successful but i've recieved abuse from players.
i just want people to fold so i have no chance of losing.

I don't want to change my game play, Should I?

No. Not saying your game plan is right, or wrong, but don't go listening to players that aren't brave enough to call you. Its your right to go all in on AA or 4 7.

Don't be surprised if you get beat though.

I have no problem with it - it just becomes tiring when people do it OVER and OVER again, and don't really care.

I guess, doing it frequently could appear as dumb poker.

the confusion is that there are as many people who respect my game as there are who hate it.
as far as i'm concerned it's poker, each to their own, i couldn't say a bad thing about another players strategy but i've copped some criticism myself.
i've had people come to me and say i'm a stupid player, that was the week i won 4 tournaments.
should i take this personally and stop betting?


BTW Des
i play the emu and christies regularly, i'd love to jump on your table.

I'm going to refer to season 1 of Poker After Dark.

This very topic was discussed at the table and it was said that whilst it's not the best strategy, there's worse ones to have.

Personally, I think you (as in any1 doing this) look like a complete tool, but as previously mentioned...they're your chips, do as you will.

Don't do that... the tables aren't that strong... they can just handle holding all my chips lol (jokes)
