    There's not really a way around people going all in at any level. Playing at higher levels will get rid of the random all in with any two cards (usually). However, the fact you've called this thread "I'm a fish", and a quick look on Sharkscope, tells me that if you did start playing higher stakes, you'd be spending more money to enter, and probably getting knocked out of the tournament sooner, as well, so that would be a bad move IMO, as you'd be getting a hell of a lot less value for your money.

    You're almost certainly better working out how to beat the low stakes before moving up.

    Most of those players who take crazy risks to build a big stack quickly are capable of losing that stack equally fast.

    Just concentrate on working hard at your own game, you can't control what other people do.

    I'd suggest you try some of the deepstacks. You will find the bounty hunters will attract alot more shoving.

    You could try playing pot limit, of fixed limit holdem.

    You might have to look at 1 of the bigger sites to get a game though.
