What do you do against players that call with e everything and continue to call. It just seems the calling station wins to many times. Everyone should what a donkey is.

I think we should exploit these players with a better range of hands than theirs. This is the only way, since they do not give up. Let's keep an eye on that.

Perfect... wait for great cards and take her money

 

[AlexBlefer]

that is loose play. but i see on poker stars, some players go on top, chiplead with call every hand

 

[maksonios]

I hate players like these, who always call or going all-in with hands like 10 and 9, or 8 and 6 suited. Actually, it is very easy to destroy them, you just have to wait for a nice hand like KK or AA. Yesterday I played Spin&Go on PokerStars. One player left out and we were heads up and this player against me always went all-in. When I was on SB and tried to call BB he also went all-in and I had to fold, so I didn't even try to see the flop and finally, I caught AK and he went all-in, again. Of course, I called and caught two pairs from the flop. He had J9 and I won.

As a rule, donks are in the beginning of mtt, just play 20% of hands in the beginning ��

Against these players, play ABC-poker and not bluff.

 

[ScottieDuncan]

You will eventually get good cards and then take their $.

 

[muse713]

Play your game and don't worry about how they are playing. Be patient and wait for strong hands. Donkeys always self destruct. We should embrace the donkeys as they are the ones that provide mucho dinero. Good luck

 

[Misaki]

play more tight preflop, don't bluff and bet for value like 90%-120% of the pot every street+ you can more thin valuebet. easy game.

 

[BillyR23]

You should want players like this at your table as their chips will usually be pretty easy to get- just tighten your range a bit preflop and be sure to increase the size of your bets on every street(close to full pot or even overbet...). But as a rule- don't try to bluff this kind of players and don't overplay hands like AK if you don't hit.

GL at the tables

You Trap them. It usually comes fairly easy, wait for a hand that you're confident you're at least 70% ahead and set the trap hookline and sinker and snap THEM when they Jam to your Check!

 

[Newzooozooo]

Hi.
I try to be careful, I use the position at the table and play only when I have strong cards. I believe that I always have the advantage, because I can wait patiently for perspective situations.
Good luck.

 

[DieCosta]

Patient and aggressively you will not need to wait to much coz theirs range is not good so wait they will give you all the chips. Good luck!

 

[sharipov8090]

Players with active ill-tempered enough everywhere.it is necessary to have patience and to catch these fish by the tail)))

 

[tauri103]

It is always necessary to play with good cards against a fish. The rule is that we rarely have to bluff this type of player because anyway he does not understand anything at the game. It is better to wait for the right moment to superlag and let bet the plupard of the temp.

 

[praevus]

They win many pots but most times is a small pot, when they lose probably is a big pot.
I like play with great hands and dont bluff. Be patient and agressive when have a great hand. Make they pay every street when you have a good hand.

Anger in poker always is a bad adviser,so consider donkeys as sponsors

 

[8bod8]

Don't mistake a donk from a calling station.
Wait for good hand and let the donk donk! (pretend to be a calling station)
With enough info you can even 3bet.
If the donk is also calling station: never ever bluf, otherwise: 3bet the donk with good hand.

Passive callers

What do you do against players that call with e everything and continue to call. It just seems the calling station wins to many times. Everyone should what a donkey is.
I cawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwed

Passive callers are great for your poker bankroll. You know they are going to call so you bet larger with your good value hands and scoop their chips.

The question becomes what are your good value hands? Is AA on 985 4 3 a good value hand or a weak value hand.

Understanding hand ranges is the key. You may wish to make that your study focus. Here is an excellent starter video on the concept.

 

[Erpherk]

I would wait for a nice hand and charge them heavy, if they fold to the big bets then you found the weakness.

 

[milka1605]

I am waiting for a good hand and try to catch a persistent igok on a reraise.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Ride them like you own them. Easy to exploit but patience is the key. They normally jump into the boat without setting a hook.

 

[Bluffzone68]

My startegy against donks is go slow.
Easy going, wait for them to make a mistake.
Most likely it will happen sooner than later.
If they keep betting, keep folding.
I would slow play a good hand against a donk, and catch the player on the wrong foot.

 

[prozitu]

the best way to play against them is to use the best possible hand, letting them bet and you just go paying. A check that you give already is enough for them to give you a bleff and you forming your hand already takes part of the chips.
