Do you know what donks me ?

[billyjack615]

AA...sometimes.

For example, tonight I'm running card dead - there are 11 players left-bubble time- and I'm in the BB with AA.

I raise 4 times the BB, about 1/3 of my chips - a player calls. Flop is K,7,2 and I'm feeling like king of the table and go all-in, damn the consequences...until the other player turns over 77 and my head turns into a giant sucker...

So yeah, AA donks me sometimes.

AA is king, if yu get donked your stilll have a proud sense

People raising 1/3 of their stack instead of just shoving for balance.

[billyjack615]

all-in pre! then I could BE a donk!

[billyjack615]

BTW tta, thx for stating the obvious - hence the thread.

If you don't understand why what you did is bad, then you are beyond helping. Just based on how you played this hand I can spot several leaks in your game. Hope to see you at the tables.

tta, relax. he entire point WAS that I played like a donk. Yes Mr Obvious, I should have gone all-in pre and he might have folded right there.

I think you want a gold star? you got it. BTW, any pointers u have are welcome, I'm a chess player new to hold-em - just learned it a few months back. I didnt know one hand could expose many leaks - see, i already learned something new!

First off, your OP does not communicate that, and had I known that my post would have been completely different because I have been on a mission to try to increase the level of hand analysis on this forum. So I sincerely apologize (a true rarity on the internet).

The misinterpretation was caused by your use of donk. I have never heard anyone use it like this and figured you were using it interchangeably with tilts, especially given the section you posted in. Once again, my bad. Would you like me to explain what I meant by shoving for balance?
