I have played most of the poker sites out there and the one big thing they have in common is no talent BINGO DONKS. Those are the ones who play every had and call any raise with any hand.

It is much more common in the lower entry tourneys but in some of the mid range as well. The frustrating part is that they call with lame crap hands and inevitably wind up knocking out big PPS with 3-5, 2-4, 6-9 its. etc.


I would like to see a site that charges a membership fee of say $100 or $200 and enforces some NO DONK STANDARDS, so a better cross section of players can be developed that all respect the game and respect the other players as well. It could be introduced as a part of any or all of the existing sites like 888, PokeStars, partypoker, unibet etc.


I would be willing to pay for that option. Right now it is TOO EASY for anyone to join and play and these sites are now infested with inconsiderate amateurs, that don't respect the game. Lets hear from you.

Many more people are now playing poker and like anything, the more people you have, the greater the variation of skill levels- Unless you are willing to play higher limit games, you are stuck with the donks.. in tournaments they often drop out during the higher levels so my suggestion is play tight until their gone.

I will try to explain to you as clear as possible ... if you do not want to meet DONKS in any tournament then enter tournament with buy / in $ 50- $ 80- $ 120- $ 215 ... I assure you that in those levels there are no DONKS, DONKS you find them in freerolls where many FISHs come in because they are also multi accounts ... because they go ALLIN with any hand because they have more players registered in tournaments, sometimes up to 10 players ... and what you say in creating menbres so that they do not have DONKS in the tournaments I think it's not possible ... I'll explain, sometimes a player does not pay an ALLIN with A6 because it's FISH .. sometimes CALL your ALLIN because the position favors it, or is in BB , or it is SHORTSTACK and you have no other option than to do CALL ... I believe that you have also won hands with 74564533562 .... or you never won with those cards to a TOPPAIR ??????

Think you may be looking at things the wrong way, you want to play against fish. Mo fish equals mo money in your bankroll. If the fish frustrate you- just play more tables.

Donks are not that fun to play with. So, I play higher stakes to avoid these players. Plus, its much easier to bluff the same players at higher stakes...

change your mentality friends, they are fish that will give you profits, because when you win them you take all their chips, they win chips when they have good cards, and when I hit a flop, a smart player who studies the game, amateurs when you do not have cards, and you get a lot of cards when you have a card, that's the difference in boys and men.
Now I'll clarify something, all the poker leagues that tried to do, professional leagues without fish, without amateurs, the leagues had failures !! once again I will, all the leagues in the world that tried to play poker, did not succeed !! he knows why, because in poker someone has to lose, imagine if all the players were professionals and play like Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, there will not be a game, since there is no way to finance this ... Poker needs donuts, fish, amateurs to survive are they who feeds the game, are they that of profit for the sites, and for the professionals ..
Saia da sua cabeça que donks, jogador que não sabe como jogar, não sabemos por que ele está lá, talvez ele esteja se divertindo só quer bater em um flop, assim como você gasta dinheiro em CINEMARK (cinema), muitos gosta de gastar dinheiro jogando poker para se divertir e são eles que o fazem lucro, então comece a tratá-los bem nas mesas ... não deixe o poker

If you were a good poker player you would understand that the so called donks are beginners and/or recreational players who are there for entertainment, not for grinding purposes. If you were a good player you would respect them, take advantage of their weaknesses, and be happy when you have them at your table, not vice versa. But you are a beginner yourself, and have a hard time folding, so you are blaming the donks for your losses instead of focusing on your own mistakes.

I'd have no where to play if the sites were no donk sites. :(

And I'd never play against Poker Orifice.

You want to pay money so that you can be guaranteed to be playing against better players? Why not just spend that on a buyin?
How would they enforce this? (umm... how in the h___ would they be able to enforce this? 1.) You're not aloud to make bad calls! 2.) No going allin! 3.) Make sure you only win with the hand that was best preflop).

I agree with you, these players are our profit, you need to analyze the game and then you can very easily win from them.

You should want donks, playing without them would not be good for you. I don't want to play at this no donk site.

You need to assemble a world meeting and say on it as follows: "Dear and respected donks, do not put everything with any cards, it prevents me from playing. Please be patient with me.":D

I watched something the other night that was discussing old school players vs new school players. It seems to me that if a guy at your table is calling anything apply a bit of old school and have patience. Wait for the hand and when you have it get it all in knowing you will get paid off.

Let me ge this straight, you want to play against good solid poker players, and would pay money.

Why not just go and play some 600nl? they will be good players, and you will certainly be paying for the privilege.

OP srs now, if you cannot beat the bad players, you dont have a hope in hell of beating the good ones.

I fully understand your pain, getting called by small connectors and random 2 cards and then they winning the hand can be frustrating for the best of us. Hang in there, play slightly higher stakes where this problem is reduced.

Higher limits don't help much. at wsop first 1-1.5 days is not much difference from freeroll. I also don't get how to select players. So idea was bad at the very beginning.

This is really absurd. I prefer to play poker with bad players but that's just me. If the donks are a problem for you then a table full of good players is not going to end well.
