You could just delete your account and start again if you want to completely remove your chips from play.
SPECIAL PAGE FOR āALL INā GAMES. I participate in another poker site where they have a page only for players who like āall inā, on this page, they only have two options. It is very annoying when some players insist on all in normal games.
I think this is what the unlimited rebuy tournies are for

I still donāt know how that works. But, I suggested it because it is very annoying and inconvenient players who only know how to play all in all the time. Poker is a game of strategy, not bingo.
Let me remind you that āall inā is an integral part of poker playing. There are more threads about this here then anything else. Professional poker players that you would see on TV IE ā the world poker tourā continually use this tactic during game play. I use it sparingly and strategically.
My question to you is ā what bothers you about it ? Players using it preflop continually or anytime during the game ?
Where do you see it more in low stake tables or any stake tables ?

Yes, itās part of the game, I use it too. The question is when the player only plays all-in in all hands, all the time, he doesnāt let the flop form even with 3 cards, he already makes the all-in before, it irritates a lot, itās not poker, itās a draw of cards, a lot ugly.
Well we all know it is poker and you have some choices. The first one I can think of is wait until you have some hole cards you are confident in and call the player taking his stack!!! The second one if it puts you on tilt is moving tables.
Best of luck.

Iād really like to know why these Bingo players do it?
Iāve been in a number of tournaments where they go all in maybe 9 of 10 consecutive hands. I realize they may want to just steal the blinds. But, at the beginning of a a lot of tourneys the blinds are only 10/20. So, they are risking probably a 2k or a 3k stack to win 30 chips.
This is the part that doesnāt make sense to me.
But, I also suspect they really do want someone to call so they can double up thinking, āall you need is any two cardsā.

I am sure someone has asked that as a serious question before and since its Friday afternoon, I can come up with some angles
They might have tried to play āproperā poker and failed. Rather than going to the commitment of studying a game they have realized is not their forte right now, they prefer to play with the chips and not the cards.
It can be a free way to pass the time and who knows, you might get a big stack together and be able to win a tournament or something somewhere and win an even bigger stack
In some ways it is similar to someone hitting a tennis ball against a wall and learning how that works. Just getting familiar with natural forces like gravity, air temperature, how often you get called, how often you win, can you make a premium hand out of garbage? How long can I do it before it gets dark or rains, or something else grabs my attention?
Throwing play chips around on Replay to see where they fall can be compared to opening up other games to see how many of your army of wizards, goblins or aliens you can toast before you run out of free stuff. Nobody has to get hurt.
Not all reckless players are unskilled. Some are taking a time-out from worrying about the end result
Believe it or not, some are actually prepared to spend real money to play like that. They might even do the same in Bricks and Mortar casinos, at poker or Blackjack tables, roulette wheels, or craps tables too.
Against a certain type of Replay player, it might not be a bad strategy. There are players who make bad or emotional choices, they fold big hand after big hand because they are playing with chips they are over protective of and then eventually they snap and call off with a random hand because they have no idea how to play poker beyond limping and calling.
As was mentioned in another thread, please dont hate on the āenthusiastic amateurā. We all began learning at some point.
You are doing yourself a favour by learning a good strategy against them, because one day, at the final table of a major tournament, you might need the experience to put it all on the line and play some poker.
Have a good weekend

As a bingo player I can explain.
Itās fun.
Also it helps me blow off tilt from when Iām playing seriously at higher tables and lose a few big hands badly. I switch down to a lower table or lower buy in tourney and punt off some chips. For some reason this makes me feel calm and ready to play seriously again.
If you start with 2500 and manage to double up 4 times, you have 40k in chips.
You will rarely be more than a 3-2 dog, so if you get heads up with those odds, you have about a 2.6% chance of winning 4 in a row. (.4 X .4 x .4 x .4 = .0256)
This will usually happen in less than 50 tries, and wonāt be uncommon to do in 25 tries.
that seems like a decent way to build an initial bankroll!
Yes. I go to several poker sites (I am learning), there are some that are very good, others not so much. Iām really enjoying this one, the complicator is the language, the google translator doesnāt know the poker nomenclature, sometimes the sentences are meaningless. If you want, I will give you a website where you have a table just for ALL IN, which means that at the tables, people play real poker.
I love Bingo players. In fact I try to friend them, so that I can find out what tables they are playing on.

" Iād really like to know why these Bingo players do it? "
Just realize Iām only āslightly irritatedā when Iām playing against Bingo players. And, I do tolerate them because I do have a strategy when one is playing against me.
Iām talking about those who go āall inā at the beginning of every tournament maybe 9 or 10 out of 10 consecutive hands.
But, Iām not talking about those changing their strategies later in the tourney because of their chip stack situation. IMO that type of change in play is not being a Bingo player. A lot of times, it probably is just a desperate attempt to stay alive or to just eliminate players in order to reach the final table faster.
Regarding my question, at the beginning, I can see doing it when you are the SB, BB or somewhere just before the dealer position. Since, youāre going āall inā anyway, you may as well pick up chips from anyone who has called. But, to do it from first or second position to pick up 30 chips risking your 2k or 3k stack doesnāt make sense to me and to do it repeatedly for 9 out of 10 consecutive hands.
Now, I have come across a few who quickly end up as a massive chip leader after just a few hands. But, since Iāve sometimes contributed to their chip count, I usually donāt know how they ended up in those tournaments.
Since, my strategy doesnāt always work out for me.
The ones I have seen where Iāve doubled up thanks to their actions, some do well but, most do not.
Again thanks.
