Ive experienced playing all levels of stakes online and live. People seem to want to move up in stakes and play for bigger money and minimize the amount of donkeys because their playing for bigger amount of money. Well as many of us know. It doesn't matter what stakes you play. There will Always be donkeys wherever you go. j/s

In any event you can find the donkeys. Especially a lot of them in various freerolls and call them fish. There is no need to pay an entrance fee. Here and recorded all and sundry and play disgusting. There are people for whom money is not important, and have not yet learned how to play poker, sit in the hopes of getting the adrenaline. Some play on luck.

On flip side you will always call someone a donkey or get called a donkey If you/they play certain hands in a certain way

There are donkeys everywhere. The important thing is to note them as what they are, and play accordingly vs them.
Edit: I myself like to play donkeyman sometimes, its fun to see people tilt when you have K5o shove and win vs AQs.

Players want to move up in stakes because thats where the money is. Keep in mind that we want those bad players because thats where your profit comes from. Without them, you wouldn't profit very much.

well to be honest while playing live cash games I have concluded that the higher you go the easier it gets. Talking about nl500 to NL5000. Ofc there are monster regs, they will always be there, but there is also alot more action and fish on higher limits. The lower limits is just a nit festival. Fold everything and play the preflop chart right or the rake will kill you all. But that's for eastern Europe and balkans.

This line of thinking always amuses me.. Who cares if somebody is a donkey! This is what you want! In poker my goal isn't to go to a table and be surrounded by 8 other players who I consider better than myself or equal to me. You want to play against bad players not good players. Donkeys=High win rate. The only people who let them bother them are people who aren't bankrolled for the level their playing or don't understand poker is a game of variance and anything can/will happen at the wrong time. At the end of the day eventually the statistics will hold up and a donkey will get slaughtered. Be happy that donkeys play poker and dont find the need to insult their horrible play. Would you rather swim in a shark tank or a fish tank?

What I find funny is the amount of people calling players donkeys when you are all donkeys yourselves!

You should be happy. Every good player wishes to play as much donkeys as he can get.

Usually on the higher stakes I'd you don't find the sinks might be because one of the following: there's no donks?!
You are the one: D

Exactly. If you want to avoid bad players, its either because, you have big flaws in your own game, or you hate money :)

It is hard to isolate weak player because every body else has identified this Villain and you will be going after the same player and may end up tangling with each other in your haste to get the chips or money.

The inversely proportional mathematical concept is absolutely true. :D
As the stakes increase the number of donkeys decreases. (At least that’s what I saw on TV in HighStakes poker broadcasts because for me, it’s all just a dream of desire :sleep:.)

Bad players can exist at higher stakes because bad players are gambling and thus not thinking too much about what level is appropriate for them. They are more interested in what they could win.

In any case, trying to avoid them is madness.

Any stakes have players who, don't have patience to wait for there hands. They are gambling on any 2 cards, and they can win with any 2 cards. A lot of players I have played in casinos they just play on luck. Be honest they do win some monster hands I have seen. I am a player who is patiently waiting for hands, the problem I have is when I drink , I don't think very well , and may be out cause I am not lucky to win hands i shouldn't be in.
