confused

[daddyspoon]

iv always been confused by some peoples style of play. here it gets called bingo, other places something else. i always put it down to it being for play chips. having dabbled on the cash side a little more i see its similar there to, if not worse depending on the buy in. just today i was in a cash tourny $5.50 to enter. i saw one player all in after a raise with 10/8 suited preflop then rebuy. the same player lost his chips and rebuys 5 times before i was out(so no idea how many he/she made after). which means he/she would have to place just to make $5. this dosnt make sense to me.

so im asking am i playing the game wrong? does my style not suit online play? should i loosen up and take bigger risks? should i give up altogether? or should i stick to what i know and carry on regardless?

I think some people must have more money than sense.
I'va also seen this style of play and no, it doesn't make sense.
Sure, do it once and maybe represent a big hand to force a fold, but over and over again - duh!?!.
Stick to theway you play, enjoy it and hopefully reap the rewards.
Good luck.

Whatever you do, DON'T STOOP TO THEIR LEVEL!

Play as you know you can, and you will (or should) win more than you lose in the long run

keep to your normal game m8, dont let that sort of thing influence your game... i quote sandy.. the player probably has more money than sense... but most probably the $5 buy-in is like a 1 cent buy-in to the rest of us.

1st of all i have not played the cash side of this site but i have on others
and when it comes to cash tourneys games what i look for is the ones that have a limited number of rebuys or add ons i try to stick to the ones that a unlimited till the 1st break just so it does cut back on the donkey play and we all have been sucked out by the donks i dont know if they have rebuys limits here like i said have not been there but i do know ive set across from u in plenty of games to know you dont need to change a thing with your game just look for games that will suit your game better you may have to pay little more but you will see a big return in your investment

There are regular 'freezeout' tournaments which do not have rebuys or add ons. Much better standard of play (usually) and would suit daddyspoons play.

im not saying the rebuys or the add ons are the problem, that was just a example. its understanding why people play like fools. am i playing it wrong ect. of course this is all in my opinion.
