i ended playing po.ker january this year because i lack patience and after 2 hours i do bad things and inevitable i lose. is not funny anymore, extensive thinking does not help on bad beats and im easily to be tilted. 10m blind are unplayable, 5m blind is still too much and 3m blinds are my favorite because of po.ker/bingo factor. though from that time i became a solely cas.ino player and im doing well! now if i want to play poker, i dont have the patience even for a sit and go but i still play one in a month with between 10-20E buyin in all-in with any two cards(yes, i became one of those fishes i always hated), trying to double up and go in ca.sino.
question is, are there any all-in tournaments or sngs with higher participants? any room? i know pok.erstars had some tourneys like this but they required points at cash game or something. i would love to play this type because is like roulette but is looking like po.ker, with bin.go factor and slots variance
l.e: po.ker, cas.ino, bin.go words without dots are not shown for unknown .reasons

Pokerstars has hyper turbo SNGs, starting with 500 chips (25BB stack) and blinds going up every 2 minutes. That's probably what's getting closest.
Other than that, Ongame sites and I think Partypoker/IPoker as well, have Coinflip SNGs, where all players are all in every hand.
However, I'd rather stick with the hyper turbo SNGs on pokerstars, you can be profitable there (not possible at coinflip SNGs because you can't create an edge) if you're any good and they're fun, action-packed format.

These all in tournaments are becoming more frequent nowadays and they are a good way of trying to make money without doing any thinking!! I would rather play a proper tournament but everybody is different

This post shows that you either have no clue at all or that you don't like the thinking-part yourself (talking for hypers at least).
Try Party Pooper they have heads up coin flips all in shootouts and a casino with a lot of various games or as mentioned above Full Tilt flip out tournaments where 1st round is all in and your ITM and the tournament resets too a standard normal tournament GL

All in tourneys are no different to a Lottery or raffle draw. You put your name on a ticket, and along with everyone else's ticket throw them n a bucket and one lucky winner gets picked at random. That's not poker it a lotto draw! Good luck if that's your thing.

You can find such tournaments in many sites. It is like a new trend lately. If you are lucky you can find freerolls too. Microgaming used to have such tournaments. I dont know if they are keep running them though.

I know that on Pokerstars there are All-in shootouts, in wich you can take part after completing certain tasks. But this has nothing to do with poker, for you are automatically all-in. All you can do is watch things happen.

man forget poker- just stick with slots or roulette. there's video poker too if you like to see cards and imagine that you are in control of something. if you still want to play bingopoker- just go for HU hyper turbos, since with your attitude the more players, the less chance you have mainly due to your impatience. gl with whatever you choose

hyper turbos are available everywhere. i don't want to do anything else than pressing on Register and watch the short action. like 888 all-in yellow sngs but at a higher scale. All-in shootouts from pstars requied achievements to earn to qualify for all-ins and the thing is i don't play usual poker anymore. there are many rooms from different networks, i know 32red had few of these during halloween and i wanna know which room offer this type on a regular basis, there must be at least one. do me a favor and check your rooms when you login anyway.
