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

I know what you mean, it's one of the reasons that I hardly play online lately. When I play, I play $109 R&A or $109 Freeze out on PokerStars. But even there I have seen crap calls, beating my prime hands.

I gotta say, nothing better than live poker I am playing at least once a week, also for big money and I love it. In October I will actually be playing live for a whole week, but I will tell about that when the time is right

Since I will leave to the US the day after tomorrow, I won't release the new site before leaving (not that it's finished, but if it was I don't wanna risk releasing it without proper testing).

Cheers,

Giorgio

i used to play live in the time before i had a wife and children,(was it really that long ago??) lol but now its work, kids, wife and then poker if i can!!

I have said to the wife that if i win the lottery, i am going to treat myself to a live game worth winning!! WSOP,EPT , POKER CRUISE...lol.
SO to this end, I will be thinking of You Sean whilst you are enjoying yourself (Ba****D!!!)

Anyway, as my nan said to me when the chips were down, so to speak, I still have my health.

Giorgio enjoy the States, and Sean enjoy your holiday.
