Free Poker Games Lesson On How To Beat Crazy Maniac Snow Shovers
So what is a snow shover? I mean someone who moves all-in every turn. You’ll find them on Free Online Poker up to top dollar events but they are most prevalent on free online poker tables.
On free online poker they can ruin it for us players who are trying to play an intelligent game as they know there is no risk of real loss so they move all in with hands as bad as 2-7 and now and again by cause of remote probability they win (and claim that as proof of poker being only luck)
Free poker games are just one area where they are a problem though. But where they can be a really serious danger is in short handed SnG money games. When the blinds are high (the average stack is just ten big blinds) they move all-in every hand and the others fold. If this tactic succeeds in consecutive turns then they can achieve a big chip advantage.
The main problem is that maniacal snow-shovers are hard to beat.
1) First, whenever they move all-in, since they do it so frequently, you never know what they are holding.
2) Sometimes it may be 7-2, sometimes 5-5, sometimes, even A-A.
3) When you decide to call them, it’s one of them. And ‘one of these’ usually means, ‘I don’t know.’
In five-person Sit and Gos, coping with maniacal snow-shovers is simple.
1) When they shove all-in every hand, there are three others, one of whom might have a good hand (or extremely good hand) to call with.
2) The Snow Shover is going to be eliminated should this happen. (If I have a perfect calling hand I will be one to do it.)
3) Or the Snow Shover, with some stroke of extraordinary luck, may knock out one of the other players.
The other players will have a hard time handling the Snow Shover who now has a pyramid of chips to throw bricks with, and I can now afford to play conservatively.
1) I’ll wait until I have A-A, K-K (or even just A-K or A-Q) so I can double up over the Snow Shover.
2) Or I will delay until the Snow Shover is knocked out by the other players, or until the Snow Shover knocks out the other players, then we are heads up with the Snow Shover.
What I have been saying is, play super-tight and aggressive poker. As the majority of the play is going to be preflop, don’t play with connectors or weak Aces.
1) Forget small pairs which can be underdogs up against the K-10 or Q-9 the Snow Shover may plunge onto you.
2) Watch for a hand where you are at the least a 70% favorite preflop (tight), then when you have it, put your chips in the centre (aggressive).
When you’re down to the last two (you and the Snow Shover, which usually occurs when you play tight and there’s an Snow Shover in play), the Snow Shover usually is leading in chips.
1) Heads-up, your weak Aces (A-8 below) and even K-x will be effective. Your K-x can be just as powerful as A-x if the Snow Shover decides to call you with Q-x.
2) You can’t afford to wait for big hands because here, the blinds are overeating you now.
3) Shove even with 5-4 or with 10-7. If you get called and you’re the underdog, you’ve still got two live cards.
Against an Snow Shover heads up, play like an Snow Shover, but fold obviously weak hands.
1) When you fold those weak hands, on average you’ve got a better hand range than your opponent, so you have the better chance of winning even if you start with the smaller stack.
2) You can’t and won’t beat them all the time but if you follow these suggestions and play tight aggressive poker you will beat them most of the time and in poker most of the time is sufficient to make you decent money.
Remember, it takes time to learn how to play poker online or offline at a level above the unthinking, uneducated “chip flinging” seen at many tables. The good news is that so many players do the maniac all in things so once you Learn To Play Poker good you can take a lot of money from them. As ever practice makes perfect so read, understand and then practice in free poker games on free Online Poker Sites to get it nailed.
