I dont know what youll think of this post but this is how i recently feel, and its a great feeling.
Many people complain about a few donks and bad beats that they have encountered. Most good players should still be up despite this, due to playing all their other hands well.
My new strategy is simple and so obvious. Just wait. I have recently discovered patience, and to make money online from these 'donks' or 'morons' this is pretty much ALL you need.
Because these idiots are so crap and will play and raise with anything, then it obviously makes sense to let them raise like idiots when you have the best hand.
I play at NL tables normally $0.25 / $0.50 and the quality of play is quite a narrow spectrum. It mainly consists of 25% donks, 50% average players and 20% good players. Most players will keep caling you with second pair etc so if you wait for top pair, you are ok. Try not to persue flush and straight draws unless they are free or very cheap. Also make sure the pot is worth it. A tiny pot wont help you, so dont gamble more than you should.
For advanced beginners myself, and those with patience and time, accumulating money from these other donks shouldnt be too hard. Dont worry if you go down a bit while waiting for the hands, many times i have gone down a few dollars over a long preiod of time and then capitalised in one hand and boosted my chips significantly. One xample from my experience, from $50 i went down to $30 then in one hand, i went up to $100 and then to $120 the hand after.
Ive learnt that if i feel any doubt or think i have the second best hand i will fold. Second best hand is the most dangerous to your bankroll so follow your gut if you need to. Ive also learnt to not go in PreFlop as it is simply a gamble, and you dont need to gamble when you know how play properly without risking your chips. I only call with AA KK QQ or AKs.
Just my thoughts anyway, any other input is welcome
