Kamikaze players

One of the drawbacks of playing MTT-R NLHEs is that they attract a fair number of players who use kamikaze tactics. These players go all in on practically every hand, thinking nothing of rebuying over and over and over again, every time they hit the felt. That's not a sustainable business model. These players make it hard on skilled players, since they essentially remove the skill element from the game. Post flop play is where skilled players shine, but when there are kamikaze players at the table, there are very few post flop decisions to make, since all their money generally goes in before the flop. I'm getting sick of this type of player. Thankfully, such tactics aren't often seen in sit and gos, so I can get a respite by playing them. I availed myself of this solace in the final tournament I played last night.
