donk poker at it's finest

This is why micro-stake and freerolls are crazy. Mind you this is level 1 and the blinds are only 5/10. The pot get bloated big time due to a pre-flop 5-bet between 2 player and 2 flatters and of course no-one folds.

Four people in the pot, the two pre-flop aggressors and two flatters. Flop comes with A high dry board and the guy who's flatted a 3, 4 and 5 bet in early position with q 10 off then "donk bets" (assuming everyone here knows the def. of donk bet) into the three people, which is fine if he has a strong hand and thinks he can get value. However his bet sizing is comical. The pot is 1010 (again blinds are 5/10) and the guy min. bets 10 chips into the pot! He then gets raised with 1/4 pot-sized bet by the pre-flop aggressor and flats again with middle pair and Q kicker. Only one person drops post flop, so now it's the two pre-flop aggressor and flatter in early position with Q-10.


Turn comes a blank and this time he calls a shove for the remainder of his stack (~500) and somehow wins the pot.

This is why I say micro-stake and freerolls are more about luck than skill. But it's funny to watch.
