I am referign to the players that lets say the "decent" player is raising 4/5x BB and the DONK is going all in with like 10 7 off and cathing 2 pair or str8 etc. I mean players that just play like complete Idiots without a care in the world whenther they win or not!

Carefull you dont meet me at a table then evil - or Jayc feeling lucky on his 6-7 os. Mine are 10-5 - and if I thought I could scare you off a hand you just raised 4xBB with an all in on my 10-5... I wouldnt hesitate a second.
- see point is that some (feel free to call us "donks") have reached the point where we play...
1. Not ONLY our own cards
2. Not ONLYour read on YOUR cards
-but even more
3. Your mind... your fear... your believes of what I might be holding.
AND - as I'm a very tight player that NEVER bluff - you will be scared off the hand.

A "free" read on me mate... I do this OFTEN in the beginning of a tournament and several times during the game,- with the specific purpose to break the slowly building table image I get for beeing a freekin tight ass player...
- and trust me it's a HUGE pleasure to show the hand after the opponent have folded.

PS... I never bluff. Never ever... - but I love my 10-5 and Q-9. Play them a lot and win on them all the time

As I said befor3e there is a thorough post on this issue, really havent got the time or inclination to go through it all again.



Basically its called playing the game CORRECTLY or playing like you just DONT care!

From whatI have learned and grantedI have only been playing for a year or so there is no in correct way to play the game welshgit posted somewhere in forum that "There is no wrong way to play thats what makes the game fun" I agree with him on that 200% but my original thought on what you wrote was the only timeI seem to win is whenI am willing to lose.I think that all players care about every game or they would not be in it.From whatI have learned from your post is if a player plays differently then yourself they are a retard or a donk or they just don't care.Well poker is game "Games or called Games because they are played which means they are suppose to be fun"

As i keep getting mentioned... its only right that i put my 2 penny worth

last poster said...........

"From whatI have learned and grantedI have only been playing for a year or so there is no in correct way to play "

this is not true.... for the last 15 years there have been 4 ways to play poker ......

tight passive

tight aggresive

loose passive

loose agressive

and it was always and i mean ALWAYS accepted that that tight aggresive was always the winning way.... and was proved to be right over the long term to be the right play

but a 5th way has now come to the front ...... Super Agressive.... this has been developed by the large number of scandanaians comming into poker..... it involes alot more all ins with pairs or just reasonable starting hands .... and the goood players are wondering if this is the way to go

for those of you who dont know there is a grouping system of starting hands .... and lists them into 6 or 7 groups as whats a good starting hand

group one being AA KK QQ JJ AKs ......

for those that slag me off so be it ...... but in the 1 point i finished in the top 10 for the first 3 months of the year and top ten for the first 6months .... on the poker.com weekend i finished in the top 10 for the first 6 months....

yes when playing the 1 point and i get beat buy bad cards i do point out the error of their ways.... but i think its only right to try and edducate the new players .... but payers that play bad cards and win ..... does not mean your doing the right thing....

on AP not i sight i play often ... i have 36000 hand stats and states that over 50% of flops i play i win..... now with the cd/wass 1 point 95% when i raise 6 to 8 times the big blind with Aqos.... im calling with a good hand...... but when a guy calls with 64 suited..... i still say this is a donk move and the flop comes q64.... that to me is a donk move as happenned to me 2 or 3 nights ago yes he knocked me out ....but play that over 1000 times and your a looser/donkey

same with flush chaser......if you hold jq of clubs and i have A10os the the boat to 4th street is Ac Ad 2c 7d if the pot is 1000 and i bet 1000 on 4th street so now you have to pay 1000 to win 2000 with a chance of 3 to 1 to get a last club...... that is a donkey move yes you may hit ..... but play that over a 1000 times and your a looser /donkey

i posted this to try and help people ..... and get them to understand me

Andy you have actually had a steady win run on the Cd 1 point???

You must be a DONK! (only kidding bud Great post).

If people don't think there is such a thing as a donk, then all I can say is they must be donks themselves ! And there are plenty on this forum believe you me......
