Your cards, my cards, their cards

[wagon596]

i think there is more skill involved in your post flop decisions with drawing hands or as some refer to as "donk hands" than there is in preflop play, i mean most the time most money that is usually wagered preflop is max 4BB's the real money gets put in on the turn and river

Could be wrong, but it sounds like you're trying to defend your own bad play... I don't call people names at the table or belittle them, but lets face it bad play is bad play,''even if you dress it up as gambling" .

You dont have to defend your play. Just put it out there and hope it hits ha

if you are playing right in terms of lag, drawing hands are far from donk. A rag however, is donk. If someone can play 56 off and be able to fold on a flop that they have top pair they are gonna beat the ppl that sleep til they get aa or kk and just assume they cant be beat.

I agree with you. However, while I don't really call anyone a donk, I have been a called a donk for picking up a better hand than them. They shove before me, I call with a better hand and win, and I'm a donk.

Wow, you really need to get this piece of condescending shit to 2p2 because that's what they do there.

yeah way too many watch cash games on TV and think thats how these "pros" play during a turny and it is not! but by all means i want the donks callin my 4 or 5xbb with trash, just not the results online gives out LOL Yes it happens live to but not as often as you dont see as many hands per hour. Ya have to know when to back off and quit betting hoping the donk will fold his measly pair. If there willing to call a preflop raise with trash they aint going to fold to any bet after they hit!

I think OP and Janish are just a little confused about what a "donk" or "donking" is. A donk calls his/her money in with an inferior hand and tries to come out on top. If your intent is to outplay your opponent postflop, thats fine but its still considered "donking" with a lesser hand. Anyone half decent wont be calling you a "donk" tho bc why correct you if you want to give my KK action w/ 56.

*the comment about pros playing donk hands beneficially made me lol

Example:
a)UTG opens 3x w/ KK. CO calls w/ 56s. Flop 789.... the CO is a "donk"

b)Daniel N (in MP) opens 3x w/ 56s. SB calls w/ A5. Flop 234... Daniel N isn't a "donk"
