I think the problem with this is that an 'all in' is a valid poker play. We can be frustrated by people who do it all the time because we want to see a flop, but that doesn't make it illegal.

You wouldn't penalize a boxer for jabbing 95% of a fight.

You wouldn't penalize a football team for running the ball up the middle every play.

You have to adapt to the implementation if it's a legal play.

Part of the problem you run into is determining what is then an okay hand to push all in with? When is it okay to pressure the table? When is it not?

Is all in the problem? or just all in preflop?

If I'm down to 50$, or 100$, 200$... I will tend to go all in for a few hands in a row because if I lose, I get the 1500 refill. Also going all in for 175$ or 200$ isn't a back breaker for many people at the 1500 tables hehe.

All in all I understand the frustration of constant all in users. But I think this is a case where we just have to put up with it because it's a legal play. You can't change the rules of a game because you don't like the way someone is using it.

There's no solution here to the ones who go all-in all the time. There is a possible incentive for those with patience & finish in the Top 25. Let these players start out with 100K so they can get away from the small childlike tables. 1500 is just not enough to get away from all the players who will call a big hand with rags & luck out on players. I know this will probably never happen now that the chip buying is so popular but when it fatigues & completely runs out of steam it will be a way to keep order in a place where there is no order & it will keep the right kind of players here.

Or just call with a decent hand(Ace would be nice).
Maybe you win maybe not , but those kind of players make money with the blinds and other money they steal.
With a full table wait for a good hand to play agianst him.
I prefer players like that then the 'normal' limpers on 1500 table, 4to7 limpers and then guessing who has the flush draw who the gut shot and who has the bigger fullhouse.(alot more drama on the river)

Billy bob all in player are the least of the sites problems. Just move onto another table or as pit says wait for a killer hand to call with, but which one is the hand? 23 off or AA? LOL We all would like to see awayers in tourneys removed after so many hands, most would like to see lag gone, I know I would like the random thingee seen to. The list goes on, and we seem to get ignored more.
Cotton it seems the $100k boosts will never go away, people are getting ripped of and now its the apps fault and to do refunds or you just buy more which players are doing. So play little tables and there will always be all inners. (I used to love doing that when I first played here lol was the fun of it all playing with friends)
