Free Poker Guide To All-in Or Fold Online Poker Tournaments

I've recently been playing a fresh type of poker tournament variantion called All-in or Fold.

The rules are: There's just 1 blind (called big blind). Each player starts with just one single chip; no matter how many, anyway, for these reasons: Your only options are: All-in, and Fold.

All in or fold poker tournaments are increasingly popular in both cash and free Poker qq so have a go if you come across one however, not before you read this quick guide!

If you are on the big blind you are automatically all-in. You get change, though, if, for example , you have 5 chips and yet another player goes all in with 2 chips and you call them (which is also an all in). He'll not win five chips from you; you will get a change of three chips.

If you're on big blind you can simply ignore the rest that follows. (This only happens about 10% of the time though on a 10-player table. If you want to become hooked for some reason. )

So it's greatly a math poker game as well as a position game.

Why math game?

Because you are relying totally on preflop all-ins you must agree to memory the probability of your winning, or at least have a good feel for them.

Here are some examples, you can generalize; the probabilities have become similar in similar situations; for instance the first example will be: Two Overcards vs . a little Pair, or say, A-10 over 5-5 and approximate the probabilities:

A-K vs 8-8

55%-45% in support of 8-8

A-K vs A-Q

75%-25% and only A-K

A-10 vs K-K

75%-25% in support of K-K

A-K vs 7-6

65%-35% and only 7-6

A-10 vs K-Q; A-Q vs K-J

63%-37% in favor of A-10 and A-Q

A-A vs 8-8

80%-20% in favor of A-A

A-A vs A-K

93%-7% in favor of A-A

A-A vs K-Q

85%-15% in favor of A-A

But these do not imply you should await A-A or K-K or A-K before you move all-in, of course. Do it with two face cards, a pair, or A-x. Just make sure the big blind doesn't reach you, for if that occurs your decision's beyond your will.

All-In or Fold can be a game of position. Oftentimes players in these tournaments play hands similar to the above, and discard the rest.

Examine these two examples: (1) You are in late position with 4-4 and you will find two all-ins in front of you. You might be facing three or four overcards, or an overpair. Fold.

After all, if you're in late position, you will see many hands before you reach the big blind. (2) You have A-8 in early position. You are two hands far from being the big blind, so you move all-in, and players when you will interpret an early-position all-in as a sign of strength.
