I hear a lot online about donkey players, most people certain that they only exist online. I've played poker all over America, and played for money, not big money, but I've entered some tournies up to a grand..and I have to tell you, they play the same damn way, most of the time in the beginning. Some people have more money than sense, some people watch WSOP on TV and don't realize that every decent hand is not an 'all in' hand, and it can be frustrating. If you are a good poker player, you just tighten up your game a bit, and position matters.

Not all 9 or 8 other players are going to do dumb shi$%. You identify the Donks and avoid them unless you have something worth fighting for, pair paint min if they are all in or nothing. sometimes these guys check, and it's nice to be behind them, so you can guage what they are doing. I think position always matters to how you play your game. You just have to adjust for the maniacs...I think anyway
