GGpoker All-in or Fold (summarized as AoF) is an action-packed poker format. You can only make two decisions before the flop (that is, only knowing your hole cards): push all your chips (All-in) or fold. It is played on 4-player tables, meaning many hands per hour, making it one of the most fun games ever developed.

GGPoker has become the largest poker room in the world thanks to several strategies, which include satisfying the Asian market and offering fun games. All-in or Fold was born to fulfill these two objectives.

All-in or Fold rules

The rules of AoF are straightforward: in the pre-flop, you fold the hand or bet all your chips. There is no postflop game.

  1. The player sits with a stack of 8BB.
  2. Once the hand is dealt, you can only make two decisions: fold or go all-in. You can't choose the amount to bet.
  3. The hands are played based on the traditional Hold'em and Omaha rules but without post-flop action.
  4. If the opponent has fewer chips, his potential losses or gains are limited to the size of his stack
  5. All chips above 8BB are automatically transferred to the player's account.

At GGPoker, you can play Allin or Fold in Hold'em, Omaha, and Sit and Go:

  1. 4-max tables with nine stakes in Hold'em from $0.05/$0.10 up to $50/$100 and seven Omaha limits from $0.10/$0.20 up to $100/$200.
  2. 16-max SnG tournaments in NLH and PLO with buy-ins of $0.5, $2.5, and $10.

This detailed guide will review the winning strategy at the tables, the rake and rakeback conditions, all promotions, etc.

All-in or Fold strategy for beginners

AoF is an ideal game for beginners thanks to several aspects:

  • There are only two possible decisions: go all-in or fold. The postflop game does not exist.
  • The buy-ins are low, and the errors are not very expensive, simplifying the decisions.
  • The tables are short, so the action is non-stop.

AoF GGPoker Table

In most cases, designing a decision tree-type strategy (based on your position and cards, i.e., an AoF chart) will be enough to familiarize yourself with the tables and avoid most mistakes. It is also advisable to use the function of withdrawing winnings after chaining a series of won hands.

Since the variance is so high, it is not advisable to risk more chips unnecessarily.

In general, stick to a simple game, avoid complex strategies, and you will be able to survive the tables:

  • Position is crucial, even when there are only four on the table. Based on your position, change your all-in range.
  • Be as aggressive as you can from the small blind.
  • It is expected to be passive at the beginning of the game (in SnG tournaments): there are not many preflop chips in the pot, and you can create a "tight” image without betting much.
  • Forget about advanced strategy in AoF Poker. Besides a basic selection of hands in the pre-flop and considering one of the three positions on the table, there is nothing else to evaluate here.
  • Observe your opponents to understand their strategy. In AoF, the hands are played fast, so it will be easy to draw conclusions about the type of opponents.
  • Try understanding your equity in different hands against multiple opponents using calculators like FlopZilla.

Bankroll management for All-in or Fold

There is a lot of variance in AoF. In any pot a player participates in, there is a risk of losing all the chips. Streaks can be very long, even if the right decisions are made.

Then, the bankroll amount to play All-in or Fold should be as conservative as possible. In absolute terms, we can talk about 150-300 buy-ins for cash games and 300-500 buy-ins for tournaments.

Is All-in or Fold profitable?

First, we should mention that the All-in or fold at GGpoker is a high-variance game. Traditional charts will not give good results here because they do not consider the peculiarities of these tables.

In general, we can't say if AoF is a profitable game; what we can say is that it is one of the most popular formats of GGPoker, with 24/7 traffic and many promotions that increase the rakeback, so those who develop a good strategy should be able to make profits in the long run.

We highlight that we have seen several high rollers and professionals playing this format, so we consider that some of them should consider it profitable in the long term... or maybe they play it just for fun!

GGPoker AoF rake

The rake structure in this game is different from the others. A fixed commission is taken from each hand.

And although it is not considered rake, there is an additional fee of almost the same amount used to feed the jackpot prize pool.
