i like to sit at the no limit tables at about 3 in the morning, i seem to make lots of profit there because everyone plays loose (i'm assuming its alcohol)... anyway, i sit down and watch a couple hands and notice a guy is going allin every hand. I get JJ and he goes allin again, the last couple times he did this he had rags and the callers took huge pots off him, what would you do? call and hope the J's hold up? or wait for a better starting hand?

i ended up calling.... a Q came out and he had Q 2 for the win, i'm still not sure if i did the right thing, any input would be appreciated

You know what cheers me up when I'm feeling shitty?

Stacks and towers of checks I can't even see over. Playing all-night high-limit Hold'em at the Taj, "where the sand turns to gold."

I've seen players who like to go AI pretty often at NL tables (PP anyone?). Usually gives one or two bad beats to callers and bust out in one hand shortly after. Call AI at your own risk i guess, you don't want to be the first 2players that pay off the maniac and later watch your money be put under someone else's stack. One thing's for sure, someone on your table other than the maniac will get richer, hopefully that's you. I used to play NL ring games at around 3am, even i used to make profit out of those games 3am or not. I don't think AllinLife would have much problem making some dough there as long as you have no problem with NL games.

party poker is bad about all in stuff, especially play money, dear god I got at one table and like 1 of 6 or all 6 were all in pre-flop very time, I got up and left that table, screw that! I play for experience not to gamble, even though its play money experience dealing with supper fishes is helpful. I do play real on occasions however, real is a little calmer but still get the “supper fishes” time to time.

Yeah Party Poker in the play money sight is awful. I've seen 6 out of 9 people go all in on the first hand. I guess it's play money so they don't care, but I still think you should play normal.

If you don't know who the sucker is in your first 30 minutes at the table, you're the sucker.

Yea it's really fishy late night. It's kinda like fishing where you really won't catch any fish during the day since they are out deep in the ocean. Where as at night, the tides rise and bring em closer to the docks. And it's also food time for fishies at night.

Same exact concept for poker, during the day all the rich working business men are at work, then around 6-8 you see a huge increase in players. A lot of them are loose players and dead money. At 3 AM people who don't have work early in the morning are on, consuming alcoholic beverages or whatever that impairs their mind. Maybe it's lack of sleep/tilt from the fact that they lost money from 8 PM and they're still on trying to make break even before they decide to go to sleep.

Ppl play badly (looser too) when they are sleepy.
In your situation JJ was a good call. However, going all-in with JJ preflop is not generally a good thing to do.

You don't need to copy-and-paste anything. Just click on the "quote" button to the top-right of the post you want to quote (each post has its own button). You'll then see the appropriate code written for you in your message composition window. You can edit anything between the [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags.

Alternatively, you can type in the code yourself.

For example, with this:

Code:
