hi rob... lol i know what you mean about the all in heroes.. hell,they dont even have to see an ace... most of them just entre loads of freerolls a day and are playing luck averages.. they are not poker players at all,just desperate fools thinking they have a get rich quick plan... as yet ive not met anyone who has managed it and very much doubt i ever will.
anyway, this kind of player also exists in the low cost entry tourneys ect and there is a very simple rule that i personally have adopted that served me well during the leaderboard comps especially.. i simply fold the first twenty or thirty hands or until its obvious that all the chancers have been elliminated or have amassed a pot worth playin properly with. i have some exeptions to this rule, being mainly 'position' or players i know, and most importantly preflop or afer flop..
i have in the past folded pairs like kings just because i know im about to become part of a game of 'donkey bingo'
hopefully you take from this somthing useful mate, like rather than giving them up,adopt a 'freeplay speciffic' stratergy and see it as a fun challenge to elliminate those anoying 'nonplayers' with cunning stealth and guile..
believe me, i won two out of three leaderboards using this simple but effective tactic..
regards
Sean
