| best thing to do after being donked out It's the third AA i got smashed from different donkeys, kinda of nervous here. what do you do when you play it perfect and someone wins with 2c-3c? or 7-9 etc? i really take it personally and this drives me crazy, i start yelling on the chat and such things. the donk will be out soon but I'm already out, subscribing to the next with the fear of being donked out again is as bad as throwing money, what do you do when you lose 3 such hands in a day? |

| well either you take a break from poker if you cant handle the bad beats, cuz honestly you should be making big enough raises preflop to get rid of competition such as 2 3 and 7 9 so you have to ask yourself...are you limping with AA? are you allowing others to see a cheap flop? if so than you need to re evaluate your game. on the other hand if you played it PERFECT like you said, than all you can do is laugh, it makes the pain go away and in all reality it is funny to have your aces cracked =] haha see. losing 3 times in a day is not the worst thing to happen to someone. they only win 80% of the time anyways so dont think that you are automatically gauranteed to win the hand. always remember that with aces...your only going to win a small pot...unless someone else has a monster hand such as AK KK or QQ. 3rd thing id like to point out is why in the world you would start yelling on the chat. i personally find this completely unprofessional and childish and think players that do this should have their priveledges on the poker site revoked, why berate or degrade someone because they had a better hand than you? if you cant stand getting aces cracked, well you may just be playing the wrong game my friend o and btw i was playing with aces yesterday and lost to 89s because he flopped a straight. so it happens. deal with it and move on. hopefully they disabled your chat for a month or so that way you can take time to understand you dont need to be talking badly to others |

| I never limp, i raised even more than needed because i know people tend to see the flop anyway, i really have to work on my behavior, usually i disable the chat, but in cases such as these i re open it to yell, and this is bad. I know perfectly that AA doesn't mean, "you will win" it's the careless gaming that drives me crazy. I have to focus on myself more than the other. I'll tell you what happens next time. |

| re: best thing to do after being donked out poker I had aa tough hand yesterday in an MTT just before the final table that really got under my skin where I raise preflop with AA. Some guy calls with KJ and flop comes out A J 10. I raise, he reraises and I reraise all in and he calls. Q of course comes on the river and I bust out. Generally after suckouts I need to take a break for an hour or two before starting another game or maybe the rest of the day and then I will be fine. Otherwise I will not be focussed on the game. |

| re: best thing to do after being donked out poker I generally play about 4 tables at a time, so when they donk out on one, not a huge deal. But it once happened that I had a donk out on 4 tables almost simutaniously. Took me on tilt, and lost 40% of my bankroll (haha, do remember that this is playchips ). But yea, it's horrid when these things happen. Sometimes it's good to just give your friends a call, go out, get your mind off things. Go back to poker knowing it's a game and that you'll be back in no time. |

| Dont do like me My first thoughts after being donked out is "Break Shi^" Then this site sucks starts to fly furiously out of my mouth then my blood pressure rises and i pass out. But i geuss thats not right, maybe should just let it go, probably better for my health. But its literally hard to keep your cool takes a lot of practice. |

| re: best thing to do after being donked out poker thanks for the kind words, I cannot define myself as an expert player, but I tend to read a lot the theory and never doing crazy stuffs. at the moment -thanks god- I'm not drowning real money on the toilette and i have a decent bankroll. i really need to calm myself down and I will say "NH mate" next time (at the end you will look like a gentleman and the sucker will think he's god) bye! |
