I played for the first time at Pokerstars in a Freeroll last night, and omg! How can you actually get to play when you have someone at the table with you who goes "all in" every single hand before the flop

I mean come on, with the first two cards, they went all in every single time!!!!

You either had to call, and take the risk that they are luckier than you with the rest of the cards, or fold and wait for them to finally lose so you can actually play some damn poker!

Welcome to the real world of online poker play.

I don't know if you've been soaking up our posts or not, but I've mentioned that many times.

It's called Donkey play. Most people will go all in with AX, or an A and whatever. They think their A or a pair of 3's will win them the pot.

What sucks about this, is that a lot of the times they do go all-in with little to play with, and they win. Yes, more....

More than just skill goes into playing many poker games, Patients plays a big part in the other half of your poker skills.

Just relax and wait for your moment, and then you can whittle down these all-in players, and end up with a big stack and them gone.

Thanks Don, this was really ****ING me off! I didn't know if these were seasoned players and knew what they were doing, cause 90% of the time everyone but one or two players folded, and they had a real good shot at winning, so i got sick of it and started calling the idiots, and ended up losing to them! JERKS lollll

ok, i feel better now, rant is over.

I know the feeling of donkey play in the big tournaments.

I find that it's best to start another side game, like a play money single table game, and just sit out the tourney until you see there's no more all-ins.

Well i plan to try again tonight, and i will take your advice, i had no idea you could be in more than one tourney at a time?

Geez Don, you must be multi talented? Anything else i don't know about my partner in crime here?? LOL

It's more like, "use to be" multi-talented. Partyner, er...Partner...in crime?

Oh, that must be from shooting down "

----donkey players" at the tables. I could team up against that.

Oh, which reminds me; a lot of decent card players out there are thinking the same thing, shoot down and drag out the donkey player. So, don't feel too alone.

I notice many times when a donkey player gets knocked out, at least one player will say something like, good riddens or thank God!

If I'm quick enough I will throw something in there too; got that right!!!
