can anyone tell me why some players only know how to bet one way any that is all in preflop when they bet and the hands they bet with is nothing but junk .....any we all know that poker sites love thoses kinda plays because it let them win in the early levels of the tournys they play in .....or is it that they really do not know how to play poker or is just to see how many good players they can knock out with there junk anyone know.......most players in freerolls like to win some money but they are there to work on there game
Because they're from America and watch too many tv poker shows Seriously I think freerolls tournaments are full of donks, so, don't worry, it's normal, sick but normal

Freerolls=They are free and the knuckleheads will roll. Now let these idiots pay to play in a $30 +$3 buyin for example and see how the fck they play then. When it doesn't cost them a penny they play anything. Why I hate freerolls !!!!!!!

In freerolls it's at least risk free but the situation is worse at micro/low stakes when people righteously try to increase their bankroll and get sucked out . I emailed the room and they replied bragging about their random number generator on how certified and approved it is

learn to live with it...i just got busted off the BRM freeroll a few minutes ago..some guy just kept throwing his chips around.i can't lay down my hands because i know i have the upper hand. he just kept beating me on the river and turn...ridiculous!
here's the sad part.i was straddling along 1st-10th in chips with less than 180 players...even deep in the tourney,some guys just make those ridiculous plays.

Freerolls are full of idiots who have a very high vpip and crazyhorse99 is right the same players play completely differnt where the buy in is a few $'s or more
In the long run playing like a complete donk doesn't work so don't worry Karma will bite them soon enough, they probally have dumped a few bankrolls in their time
I would like to see added money tourneys rather than freerolls, that would leave the proper players to battle it out and for the record I think the Russian players are the biggest Donks online

Freerolls are no risk tournaments, so they have nothing to lose and will go all-in with the most awful hands. But that is the world of freerolls alot of donks playing them for passing time and not so much for developing their pokerskills.

There are donks the world over, nationality, race, and creed can't save you from stupidity.
That said I often play loser in freerolls as well. Simply put freerolls often allow huge numbers of people in for sub par prizes. As a result there's no incentive to play for 3 hours only to be knocked out 157th of 2000 and get nothing. So people try to build a bank roll quickly to see if it's worth sticking around.

Sounds about right. I hate it when they boast about hitting a lucky hand and playing great. Every time I think... why don´t you try putting your money where your mouth is and playing for some real cash? We´ll see if you keep playing like an idiot...
I can assure you it isnt. Even at what most of us would deem nosebleed stakes, there are idiots like this.
Just because people play with real money it doesnt mean they are better poker players. It could well be they are billionaires and couldn't care less if they lose $100.
I've seen people go all in in the Sunday Millions on PS with 8 5 suited pre flop. I've seen people call 3 all ins with pocket deuces in FTOPS events.
Bad players exist in almost every level of poker you can imagine. In fact I imagine there are idiots who play like this in the WSOP.
IT TAKES LESS SKILL, THEY ARE NOT OF THE MIND PERHAPS to want to think about thier games as well as the fact that they place little value in thier bankroll (if not freerolling) and are looking for that killer attitude which gets them loads of chips, perhaps that is when they usually
One thing you need to consider is the mindset of the player.
Some see Poker as simply gambling, and will act accordingly. They are big risk takers and don't actually care what the cards are. They don't understand pot odds. They play a "win big-lose big" kind of game.
This is where player notes are invaluable but so many people never bother.
if you have such a player, then you should avoid them like the plague. Even with hands like AA or KK. They simply don't care...
If you have someone shoving all in pre flop with crap, then steer clear. Of course you would call with AA or KK ( maybe ) but other than that, if they are in the hand, you stay well out of it. Let someone else KO them first.
The aim of poker isn't to win everyone elses chips, its to make sure they don't win yours, and if you go mixing it up with someone who couldn't care less if they win or lose, theres ultimately only going to be one winner. They will eventually suck out on you.
So if you get donks at your table, just let them go.. let them play like idiots. They won't last very long and once they are out the way you can settle down and start picking up pots.

I completely disagree. I've seen some very very good russian players.
Germans are the worst, by an absolute country mile. if they have an ace or two suited cards, you are not going to get rid of them pre flop no matter what you do.
If theres a stereotype of a player, then the german is the one who plays solely for flushes. I've yet to meet a german who can fold suited connectors pre flop.
