Do Online Players Take More Chances?

[Outlaw_IA 0]

playing today on PP i had:AKs all in to a Pre-flop raise, the button (not the original raiser) called. He had A5s and caught a flush.KK all in PF with a big stack, against another big stack he had 44 and hit a 4. (he was not pot commited with his raise)AQs all in PF against K10 off, he caught 3 kings.(he had limped in for 800, my all in was 9,500, he had 13,000)So my question is, do online players gamble more PF because you can just enter another tournament if you lose?Do you find this at other sites aswell? I play live cash and tournaments, and i dont see this kind of play very much at all. This is not a bad beat post, just curious if this is common, and does anyone try to avoid PF all ins, and play post flop more?

unless its a deep stack tourny constantly trying to outplay your opponents is ev- imo unless you have a nice stack even still though its uneccessary.

If your opponent told you what he had preflop during all of those situations, would u deny him the chance to get it all in preflop? We love these situations

online players defo take more chances. a few points hud be remembered tho.they could be drunk, depressed, annoyed, on tilt from another table etc.they could be up money, really happy and willing to gamble or down alot of money and willing to gamble. could be a mis click. etc etc

I don't think so.In my experience live players take even bigger chances at where I play. Calling $100 re-raise with 57os.Calling 5xBB with 35os. Calling all-ins with QJos.If anything I think people like to gamble more live.

In low buy in MTT's I'm reckless if I build a stack. I mean I won't give away all my chips. But I'll call an all in of someone who's fairly low. Even if mathmatically I'm supposed to fold. Sometimes you shiat out and you get that crazy loose image and it pays off in the future. I love seeing all the people say "WTF?!?!?!, HOLY SH**" etc when I call an all in with 67os or J9. They think I'm a total fish (I actually might be though).

[FARGOpokerND 22]

they make these plays because it is SOOO much easier to push a button saying "all-in for xxxx" VERSUS actually pushing all your chips into the middle and having to show down.

I'm right here...and I will now verify that "uneccessary" is for sure NOT word.

Online a person could be playing tight and then just get a feeling and go with it. It's what you like to call a tell tale sign of a donkey. i.e. calling with an obviously inferior or marginal hand. In the situations you described it appears that you are also overbetting. The reason you are getting called is because a lot of hyper aggressive players will see large overbets as a sign of weakness. So they did exactly what you wanted them to. Although I would advise that you avoid going all-in pre flop with A-Q because if you get called you have to pray that the other player is going to call off a bunch of chips with something like A-x to have any really significant advantage. I know you can piece this together but it bears pointing out if you get in 60-40 situations 3 times in a tourney your bound to lose one so beware being the one all in. Going up against a lot of chips make sure you have a made hand because they are far likelier to call you as their tourney life wount be on the line.sorry for rambling but im bored at work Chad

I know I do. Going all in PF often means you only gain blinds, often wastes a good hand. I tend to raise at least 3BB PF with an all-in hand, then keep firing bullets at every opportunity. Seeing as you don't seem to have much success pushing all-in PF, it makes sense to try a different method. You can play aggressive without going all-in everytime, and overall you could win more money that way too.

Online players definetly take more chances. There are soo many more hands to play and games to choose from. Not to mention it may not seem to be as big of a deal to lose a certain amount online when it is just a number on your screen compared to actual money coming out of your pocket.
