all in

I'm not much of a poker player, but I played in a freeroll recently. And I was really lucky. I got up into the last five, and I had all the chips. (Well, not all of them of course, but way more than anyone else.)

Anyway, there we are on the last table and suddenly just about everyone went all-in on just about every hand they played.

I got so befuddled I ended up losing it all.

Whats the best strategy when that happens?

Best thing to do is play smart, tighten your play and only play the so called good hands IE..AQ, AK, AJ, KQ, KJ, or pocket pairs of 10's or better ect, this way if someone goes all in on you you have a good chance of hitting. On final table most players are just wanting to steal blinds so when someone calls they get worried...lol

Thanks, that is what I will do next time. Hopefully I will get that far again sometime.

I'm sure you will, just remember if on a final table, if you don't flop it, drop it...lol
