The Donkey's Are Coming!

So it's double-bubble on the $50 tourney, I'm around 6th place. I am small blind with pocket Q's. Player before button raises ~4x the blind... This play..errr..donkey was raising A LOT and got busted a couple times so I push all-in. The donk types "lol" and proceeds to call me....with 2 3!! He catches a 3 on the flop and then spikes another on the river.

We all have bad beats and I don't want to make the blog a bitch-fest, but it just seems that more and more donk's are joining and you see a lot of bad play by these "badgeless" individuals.

The all inners are a pain, but they are good for my game. When I play against good players I'm improving my aggressive skills, when I play with all inners they give me a chance to hone my defensive skills. Every live tournament has them. You have to stay out of their cross hairs, until they do it once too often.

There is nothing wrong with them playing, its the fact that they are winning against the probabilities. They should be busting out left and right, not busting out the stronger hands left and right. Hope your luck changes, along with the rest of us. :)

Hopefully there won't be too many pushing all in preflop early. If it is one or two per table they usually get knocked out quite fast. But if it gets like AP where 5 or 6 of them are doing it, it gets hard to deal with.

That's why the badge system is good... you can get an idea who the donks are versus the serious players.

I couldn't have put it any better than wptbound.Anytime you have a new influx of players they are gonna find you sooner or later.What happened to you TuxFL really sucks.That player did everything in his power to double you up and 93% of the time he will.Unfortunately the cards don't know it's double-bubble time.I feel for ya TuxFL but rest assured the rest of us are going thru the same thing.wptbound is right in that players like your donk don't last long and move on.The cream wil rise.

Sorry I have to agree. What I really like about SC is the level and skill of 90% of the players, whom i have become friends with and learn from at the same time. Those that push all in every hand for the first 3 levels is really starting to iratate me, BUT i will overcome the good with the bad, and play my game. The donks will eventually move on, and the new ones that appear will quickly learn that they will get caught. its just royally bites when your on the bubble....sorry that happened t
