Bingo Players (How to Avoid)

These days people are constantly whining and complaining about Bingo players. Bingo players also known as: Players who don't care and go all-in not caring are a growing percentage of online poker players. No matter which site you go to you are going to encounter them. And no there is not one specific site which will not have them.

However, people in which complain about these players sometimes are thrown into the similar category with this breed of players. There are many simple ways on avoiding Bingo players in whichever you are playing, whether it is a MTT, a Sit And Go, or just a ring table.

Typically, Bingo players are constantly involved in hands and are very aggresive and I would say aggression without intention is what I call it. One suggestion I would send out is to approach these players in a special way. Spend 3-4 hands folding to get a read on each player at the table and their style if their Bingo, Aggresive, or just tight.

The way to approach Bingo players is to simply avoid playing a lot of pots with them. Sometimes 1 pot played perfectly is worth 10 small pots with a bingo player. Play aggresive. Fold and play tight until you have a hand. Then you can tangle with the Bingo player. He will most likely call, and use your aggresion to take his chips.

So to summarize this whole post in one line is:

How to avoid Bingo Players:

Play very tight and once you get a good hand with them, play aggresive.


However, keep in mind that it is not always great to play tight. Change your styles to avoid people reading you.
