Never Play On Pokerstars..

I played on Pokerstars b4 and didn't like it . I swear that is the home of DONKS .You can't play a hand without getting donked .Every now and then i'll win but damn they call with anything .I've seen ppl all in with 39 off when playing for money ..like i say alot if idiots on that site so i advise u to not play there lol

clearly you have had a bad day. hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.

lol thanks alot but i no longer play there no more ...i play on Full Tilt ..i mean i have no problem with getting donked BUT not all the damn time lol but thanks and Good luck .

Yes, I much prefer the donks on FTP who stack with 2-7 offsuit because they have 10k in their bankroll.

Wait a second? Don't you want donks at your tables??

....So confused

Oh yeah, and let's not forget UB Donks who prefer the better all-in cards like 3-6 off. Hmmmm, seems like every site has more than it's share donks. Just entre a freeroll and for almost the first 30 minutes or so it is an all out donkfest. So just sit back, bait the hook and snag the unsuspecting fish when the opportunity presents itself.

And by the way, live in-person tournaments have almost as many donks as an online freeroll, the only difference is these people actually paid hard cash for the privledge.

Hope you have better luck next time and remember it takes a whole lotta patience to make the final table and into first place.

Cheers!

Full Tilt and Pokerstars have the biggest traffic, and I feel that the bigger the site, the more donks percentage wise. They just get attracted there mainly because they are more well known. However, the problem is mostly when you play tournaments, MTTs and sngs. You simply gotta dodge all of the suckouts, and when one hits you, you get put on tilt. I think if you got a small bankroll, don't play sngs, just play cash games. In cash games, you're rewarded per good play you make. In sngs, you are only rewarded when you dodge all the potential suckouts. You might be a 70% favorite, but winning those two situations already puts you below 49% to win them both, and if you're short stacked both times on a push, that's slightly favors you losing the whole tourney. I've played for a few years, and it still gets to me, but I'm still learning to keep my cool.

Suckouts are a part of poker. It happens all the time.

I use to get bent out of shape over a bad suck out. But, finally realized that it happens all the time. So, now take it in strive.

You just got to take your lumps and move on.

Good luck,

This. Surely you want soft players who will call when they are in a weak position (compared to you) rather than players whom you can't beat unless you are the one getting lucky?

I guess we all have our preferences but find Pokerstars has less donks than other sites overall quality of play is much better. Wherever you go freerolls are are going to attract them. The sad part is that many of these players don't seem to learn. I have made notes on certain players and months later see no improvement in their play. I guess they are either completely dense or have no respect for other players or the game in general.

Donks are everywhere. Suckouts occur on every site. Suckouts just dont seem as popular in live games because you just dont see the number of hands that you do online. TV just shows the good hands and when they do show the sucklouts that win, that makes every Tom, Dick, and Harry think they can take down the big pots with 7-2 os.

The donks also occur at every level of play online. The freerolls really attract them, they go all in with anything the first few hands hoping to double, triple or quadruple up. But where are thes players after the first break, 90% of them are sitting on the rail, because they didnt see the FOLD button to click. Play solid poker, have patience, and stay out of the All in situation until you are at the River and know you are not beat.

Back to the part of seeing them at all levels, I've watched some $26 MTT tourneys online, and have seen 20 people hit the rail after the first hand.

Yes you must be right, and that's why PokerStars is far and away the most popular poker site in the world...

I try and stay away from all the donks as much as possible.

I hate money.

That is all.

Shoot, I go all in with 39 off everytime I have it.... I'm going all in with it now and I'm not even playing poker........ Like Monoxide's movie says.... "I was shipping in 500 dollar stacks"

Wow, You cant be serious?

Why not save some of your hands and post them in the hand analysis section? It is quite possible you are making the right decisions and experiencing variance...but it's also possible you are making some mistakes here and there, which even the best do.

I have found over the last four years of playing online it doesn't matter. The donks are everywhere. Small buyins , sit-n-go's ,freerolls makes no difference. The biggest thing I have learned is the patience it takes and the control of yourself not to tilt when you are in the position of playing at the same table. Yes some does make it to the final table and win but I don't believe their stats would stand up very well.

donks are gonna be everywhere forever.

without donks there would be no poker....

I LOVE YOU DONKS

thats all

yes you can rob one donky but put 6 or 7 together and next thing you know you get stampeeded.

I much more prefer the donks on FT They are all around players, everything from 7 2 os to NOTHING BUT A PRAYER

yep it happend to me to me too had kq they kj j on the river a freeroll so not to bad

You opened an account just to share that with us? Thanks a bunch - and welcome!

Yeah. Best to find a site where they only go all-in with AA or KK. That's where all the money is.

Why ... oh why ... is someone always trying to tap the fish tank ...

LEAVE MY POKERSTARS FISH TANK ALONE !!! ... ...

Everyone looks like a donk at times. If you aren't bluffin, you aren't trying! I'll stick with pokerstars over a site where someone is in the server room looking at my cards...

Wait, if donks are so bad, win so much, how come i am beating them?????
I will even play a .10 MTT on PS witch is a sit&go, and play tight for a lot of the time..... It is not that bad on PS....
EDIT: p.s don't bluff, they will call even if they have 1 pair..

every site has alot of donks and start and tilt have the most, they are the most popular, but all sites have the same shit happen like river beats runner runner and all that crap we go through as poker players, it doesn't matte where u play their are donks and idiots every where, u just have to avoid the gamblers and play against the poker players.

People say the same thing about the other sites as well (Full Tilt, Bodog, etc.). It's just a matter of opinion when it comes to what site you like or dislike...

Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but you are a donk. That's why you win.

I know donks r apart of the game and all .but when i play tight and finally have a hand lets say KK or KQ suited I get donked ALL THE TIME .they call with anything and hit better then my good cards .Happens on every site 'yes' but not as bad as Pokerstars .no offence to the people that play their .well gl all .

Yep I just recently lost a good part of my bankroll there due to donkey nation but that's the game of poker everywhere there are donks PS just has more people playing. My advice I wish I would have taken it you start losing money at a table and go on tilt like I did leave the table or just take a break before you lose 250 dollars or so like I did.

i played cashed game recently where a loose player raised utg to 6 or 7 $ i was the button or cutoff reraised to 20$ with kk i had 60$ behind. flop came 56q he checked i shoved he insta called with k4 yup k4 long story short i lost to runner runner str8. so to those ppl who say online is rigged , i say what about that hand was that rigged? any ways badbeats hapen all the time and if u dont wanna play with fish who do u wanna play with?

Withdrawing PS funds now, moving to cake

Nah, who want donks at the table. Who wants to be against lousy players?
That'll give you like, an advantage!
Gimme a table with Hansen, Durrr, Ivey, Hellmute and Negreanu and I'll be at the top of my game.

*Sigh*

Guessing that you are on the way to become top poker players, and making tons of money on high stake online poker.!!!

Realistically, most of us ( 95%???) ( with modest income ) playing online would aim at winning in micro or low limit, where there are lots of novices and donks.

Playing micro limits requires particular thinking process and strategy.
Playing against pros in high stakes needs completely different approach.
