What pocket pairs are you talking about? I agree, one opponent is ideal, but to go all in with 10-10 or lower is a bit too risky, don´t you think? It would be playing coin-toss a little too much!

I agree the fodz anything lower than pocket tens is a bit risky. There are certain times I would risk it, usually at the start of freerolls I will go an allin bet from a player you goes all in every hand

alloy all I can say is that they are so bad they call with rubbish, I have been made to sweat on a few hands only to find out they only have a pair of 6's

Posted by alloy: I think it's funny! what can you do but to laugh at guys like that? And how can you call an all in with pocket 4's when you are chipleader?
if u have read and think your opponent dont have even those 4`s and you are chip leader why u would not call then ?
well fishes it is very good but sometimes fish want to eat... if you play a lot of SnG at the distance your wright play will be right, i am trying to think that way, because badbeats it is only unluck and if i will keep playing right i win them.

yeah fishes are good in the long run I win my money off them it is only the odd occassion where they get the better of me. But going all in on pocket 4's when you have a lot of chips is mental I only do that when short stacked when I getting poor cards, I then come to the conclusion to try & double up or get knocked out basically when I have nothing to lose

have to agree with w444x they only get lucky once in a while but most of the time you are taking their chips. Just played an SNG where my pocket kings were beaten on a lucky river to give him a flush

Well i tried to force him out of pot on the turn with an all in bet but being a fish he thought he's bluffing I can hit a flush here & called Took me 30 min to build my stack back up again, still finished 3rd in SNG in the end
