I play regularly in a poker club where I live. The cash games which are 25/50 and 1/2 attract a lot of characters. You got everything from doctors, lawyers and professors to drug dealers and bums.

Most of the players are truly gamblers. One of my favorites is this dude called Donkey Don. Donkey Don is about 400 pounds, and as dumb as a brick. Donkey Don will play every pot, and any two cards, and he'll call any raise. With anything. I've seen him call a 8bb preflop raise with 84o and triumphantly show down a full house when he hits the flop just right. Of course, since Donkey Don's 84o sometimes fail to make a full house, Donkey loses. On average. A lot.

So should we feel sorry for Donkey Don? Maybe. In addition to being a 400 pound lonely man who is as dumb as a brick, he also has a serious gambling problem. I personally don't feel sorry for him. This is a free country. Poker is like everything else. If you overdo it, it can hurt you. Its up to you, not the government, your neighbor, your mom, or your poker opponents to make sure you don't die from drinking too much, take too many drugs, have too much sex, or don't gamble away the ranch. Which is why every time Donkey Don sits down at my table I am hoping he calls my raise with 84o. Bring it on big boy.
