Betting all in preflop

I play poker games basically low-limit ring games and like everyone else I am sick of calling stations that draw for anything no matter how much the bet is. I have a new idea, a new approach to all of this. I am going to play my normal tight, very aggressive play, except when I get dealt a poker pair of Kings, Aces or Queens or even AK I will bet all In preflop. I know I will get called about 20%-25% of the time and usually I will be getting called by a weaker hand. Do you think this is crazy and I will lose money playing like this?

No it’s not crazy. Some people would argue that you are having these experiences because you are getting scammed. I saw this guy last night sitting at 12 tables with four other dudes who were all on twelve tables together. They all had big stacks. I don’t know it’s frustrating, I guess it’s all about the rake. I don’t think there is any crazy cheating going on the lower limits. I think these sites are legit; it’s just bad luck I guess. I think you also need to play games off your computer. Get to your local casino and play some tourneys.

Yeah I agree. The site I play on is a small one and I know it’s trustworthy. There are a lot of players on at the same time so everything is pretty much legit. I you don’t feel comfortable on the site you are playing on, you should just find a different one.
