All-in or Fold on GGPoker: all you need to know about the game

The GG Poker Network rooms are known not only for its traffic and high stakes games, but also for an offer that includes exotic formats that can only be found there. One of them is All-in or Fold — 4-max Hold'em and Omaha tables with only two options: go all-in or discard your hand. In this article, we share a detailed review of this format.

All-in or Fold — an exciting game with tons of action

All-in or Fold tables have existed since forever on GG Poker Network. Almost all AoF players are from Asian countries, which is not surprising because GG was an Asian-focused network when it was founded, and it's known that local players from these countries love these kinds of games. The game structure is fast and straightforward: players buy 8BB and only have two options at the tables: push or fold.

What are the features of All-in or Fold at the beginning of 2020?

Rake structure

The rake structure of All-in or Fold differs from all other cash games. A fixed commission is taken from each hand:

Stake	Buy-in	Rake
PLO20K$	$1,000	$10
NL10K$	$1,000	$5
NL1K$	$80	$0.50
PLO800$	$32	$0.40
NL400$	$32	$0.20
PLO200$	$8	$0.10
NL100$	$8	$0.05
PLO50$	$2	$0.02
NL25$	$2	$0.01

Rakeback

All-in or Fold players participate in the Fish Buffet loyalty program, and those who play at GGPokerOK under our affiliate program receive 50% fixed rakeback. A big plus AoF when calculating rakeback is that PVI is fixed to 1 for all players; therefore, the rake is not slashed according to your game style, even if you win and request withdrawals frequently.

Jackpot and other promotions

GG Poker Network has additional bonuses for All-in or Fold tables, including a Jackpot. Payments are awarded when players get Royal Flush at Omaha tables and a straight flush at Hold'em tables.

The Jackpot prize pool is funded with an additional fee paid by all players in the rake. The higher the All-in or Fold stakes, the greater the player's share of the Jackpot.

All-in or Fold on GGPoker: all you need to you about the game

In December 2019, AoF has an exclusive promotion: $300,000 All-In Race, and according to our data, a $200,000 AoF Festival is planned for January 2020; the details of this new promotion will be announced soon.

All-in or Fold Bingo

In November 2019, a mini-game was added to AoF tables: All-in or Fold Bingo. In short, after playing a certain number of hands, players get all the cards that are indicated in a special panel and will receive a random reward in cash.

On December 20, after the latest client maintenance, the following changes were implemented to AoF Bingo:

In both Hold'em and Omaha, the All-in or Fold Bingo tables will be 4x4;
To get a prize, players need to get four cards of any of the lines (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal);
The maximum number of hands for which a player has a chance to get an AoF Bingo prize is 40 in Hold'em and 20 in Omaha; after that, players receive a new set of All-in or Fold Bingo tables;
The prizes are randomly awarded using a wheel – 800BB / 80BB / 40BB / 20BB / 8BB;
The probability of the AoF Bingo bonuses is as follows:

Prize	Probability
800BB	30 /1,000
80BB	120 / 1,000
40BB	200 / 1,000
20BB	280 / 1,000
8BB	370 / 1,000

The All-in or Fold Bingo prize pool is funded by an additional fee of 0,1BB paid on each hand.

As a result, considering rake and deductions for Jackpot and AoF Bingo, players pay a commission of 0,20BB on each hand (0,25BB at NL25 and PLO50).
