Donkeys Putting You on TILT?

A-RAG · Nov 17, 2008

Very rarely see good play in free rolls. Good thing if you get a rush of good hands you will get paid off not like a normal higher stakes cash tourney where good players will reside.

You cannot win an MTT without luck at somepoint.

Play ring

Cardschat freerolls are the only ones really worth playing in. the others even if you cash its only cents you will be making. and a lot of people in the cardschat freerolls are not donks (but some deffinitly are including me).

in the free rolls you have to wait it out a bit only call the all in if you are postive you have the best hand dont try to buy any pots after you clear out half the players you should be able to play your game the way you want by than most of the donks have killed themselves already but keep in mind to make it in the free rolls you have to take chances also so good luck in your play

thats why i like the 10 cent tournys at pokerstars there are alot less of the all in donks and it dont take all day to just win change, when i get hit hard at ring tables i usually can build back up with a few 10 cent tournaments:smile:

i agree, i know donkey, dont EVER bluff them. Some how they will wind up with cards better than you. Like people before me said, they are calling staions, dont mess with them. You have to play tight and stick to your high pockets. Luck doesnt hurt either

I've been described as a "conservative player", so I almost never mess with the donkeys. It's a foolish way to play, and they should go hit up the slot machines; since, that is basically what they are doing.

I love having the rep as a conservative player. It's a good one to have. Your bluffs are almost guaranteed wins. And, if a donkey makes it to the final players, they know if I go all in or call a high bet- they're screwed and fold.

I like the 10 cent games to first few hands only play premium hands and hope to double or triple up off the donkeys. After first 20 minutes or so its mostly just play tight solid poker to win at least double your buy in. And yes never try to bluff a donkey.Always try to take the bad beats in stride and take a few very deep breaths and not get in any hands until you are on a even keel again.

I got to share this with someone. My wife doesn't get it. I was playing a Freeroll at Ultimate Bet and was BB first hand. I had pock 4s. 7 people went all in before me. It blew my mind. I know the smart play would have been to fold. Obviously some good hands out there. But I figured it is a freeroll and what a start if I hit. I called. The guy after me that started the all in showed a 7 10 off. The flop was 4 4 jack. I felt like a donk for calling but it sure was a nice pot.

Just knowing in advance that you are playing the freerolls where the donkey lives is the first step. Be prepared mentally and be ready to laugh at them.. I tend to tag them so next time i see them i alredy know I'm pretty much not gonna play till there gone.

But my main advise (believe it or not) is to make sure I have a good meal before I play. I don't seem to get as aggitated on a full belly.

Good luck in all your games weather live or computerized...

wobb803 · Nov 19, 2008

I am not going to give you my #1 strategy for all poker tournaments, ring games, sit-n-goes or what have you (that would be just plain crazy), all I can say is that if you do take a bad beat, totally x-out of the site if you have the chips to sit out for 15 minutes and then log back in. The donk that gave you the beat will probably be gone or the tournament may have dwindled the # number of tables and you have moved, either way, do NOT keep playing on tilt. get refreshed.

Whenever you play in a freeroll, be prepared to lose to some bullshit hand. It happens in every tourney, every day, on every site.

simonb · Nov 19, 2008

I love playing the donkeys sure they suck out on you most of the time but a good player will only lose minimum. When you know you have them beat you can get a maximum payout off them, playing tight is best, dont try and beat them at their own game, stick to yours.I think they bring exitment and easy money to the table, without the donkeys i think poker would be very boring, as much as we all hate them we actually need them.
