I like bad play, Larry. It is the lunatic moronic donkey play that I don't like. The lack of fold equity deep in a tourney when 3 players are going to call 90% of their stack with trash when you shove short handed and short stacked takes away one way to win a hand and therefore reduces the skill factor. If I have less than 15 big blinds and I shove AK I want a bad player to call me with AQ or AJ. But I don't want 3 donks calling with 75, T9 and 22, which is so often the case here.

FINALLY A TABLE WITH NO DONKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By WATERHORSEOct 22, 09 05:04 PM

I have to say I had a great time the other night. 9 players all full members and we all played like pro's! Goes to proove that when you play good players you play good yourself... I've noticed that when I've had several bad beats because some lunatic with a basic membership thinks this games called all in jack! or 7 4 off! It makes me play bad and just not give a toss about this game here and I start being a lunatic myself. spadeclub you could look after your full members by at least once a week offering a tourny for $1000 were only top 500 spoy can enter which will make it more exciting and make members play better for those spoy points? But hey what do I know spadeclub I'm a small fish in your big lake. Can't remember all your names but hey guys thankyou! WATERHORSE

Why would you dislike bad play, in the long run bad play will lose to good play. I may get beat today, but I will win in the long run. Oh and a lot of play is judgement. my good play to me , for my reasons, may be donkey play to you. I love donkey play, in the long run.
Barrie u can be good yourself without playing like a donk if you really wanted.. learn to fold a towel and once you done that you can fold a shite hand easyily. Donkies dont deserve respect if they bust any player holding great cards with a crap hold em hand! occationally a donk comes good and wins something nice through his/her skill... like that donk who won the 1st heads up championship... Yes now that donk should be respected!!
everyone on this site has some donk in them. Especially in the top 25. That is the bottom line. Definately a big "whine and cheese" crowd on this site. Seeing people bitch and moan after bad beats is worth the price alone!
Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve.You cry to weak friends that sympathize.Can you hear the violins playing your songThose same friends tell me your every word.Is there no standard anymore?What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong.You can't be something your not.Be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me.A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time.Re, spect, walk.What do you sayRe, spect, walk.Are you talking to meAre you talking to me?No way punk!!Walk on
WOULD LOVE TO SEE A TOP 500 TOURNY AS FOR THE PLAY YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL YOURSELF AND IF THEY PLAY POOR HANDS OH WELL BUT I ENJOY PLAYING AT TABLES WITH THE MORE SUCCESSFUL PLAYERS CAUSE THE CRAZIENESS DOESNOT SEEM TO BE THERE
I hear what is being said, however I do not believe the top 500 will prove a donk free game! Nothing personal but I believe from watching... That Many of the high spoys did not get there by playing solid poker by any means. are there solid players , yes, Are there donks, yes! Welcome to the world of poker, they are everywhere.
.....to clarify this - good players make mistakes. Calling your whole stack with AK to an all in heads up with a medium-short ,when waiting another round is the better option, that's just a mistake. But there always seems to be some nutjob who will call half of their stack with atc suited or gap connectors on every final table. I guess that's poker! I'm with you though horsie - we need more tourneys that will encourage the good players to play better to beat each other. Heads up coming up! GL!
Some of the best tables come in the $10 turbos, where the game is all about correct shove or fold decisions when the field is down to 25 or so. If the good players correct decisions don't get donked, you sometimes get 9 good players at the final table. This is not always the case - if the suckouts cause carnage you can just as easily get 6 or 7 nutjobs, but I'm yet to see a final table with 9 good players in the $100-$500 games. There's always at least 1 bingo stack....

hey horsie, well said, i agree. you do occationally come across a good table or 2.
glad to hear you found one and enjoyed the game.
gl in the heads up tourney.
Are you just looking for more ways to ban the donkeys and fish like me from a weekly game. Lets face it Spade Club is a profit making site. Sorry, Nothing more. Its the many many fish and donkeys like me that pay $20 a month the get slapped around night after night by those who are good at this game . We make the site profitable. We donks get lucky on occasion. That is all the serious players seem to worry about on SC. Donkeys Deserve Respect too.

I know what you mean horsie. I like to play a good solid game of poker, but only on sc do I find I have to be even more in control of my tilting when donked. I very rarely titl, but the only place it has happened to me is here. I don't believe it can happen very often here to have a good game with good people because sc doesn't make it hard for you to be experienced, IT IS A BEGINNERS SITE and it caters to them. think about it, if the good players always win, sc doesn't get new members.
