time to play a donkament

I don't really remember how to play them, but i'll figure out some content for this forum.

um

let us know how it goes????????

really locate the guy's who are calling stations, they can really screw you over when you steal because they might call you with absolute crap.

Also make sure you don't make any sort of "play" (aka bluff or semi-bluff) unless you have a read that the guy isn't a complete donk.

Call off post of the year contest.

:P

... did you really play one?

yeah i played not only one, but two donkaments.

Went out of the 162 on stars 30 minutes in overpair vs semibluff, so there really was nothing interesting there.

also played the 33 rebuy on stars, nothing got going in the first hour, took some nice beat, and being the cash game donkey that i am i forgot to addon after the first hour--LOL CASH GAMES. So i entered the second hour with 3500 in chips, with quite a short stack relative to everyone else, and a kinda short stacked compared to the blinds.

So i came across this hand, i decided to use my relative short stack as folding equity. This works because they have no maneuvering room against you, they can only play for value, and not make any moves on you. I think this can be a very effective move against certain players, but it can also be spewing. So here i have called preflop with the intent to raise him off his hand most of the time, the flush draw was an added bonus and i was callling everything off if he pushed.
spewing? baller? LOL DONKAMENTS?

whoops forgot the hand

why not just push over on flop? You only have 1300 behind in a pot of ~4000.

yeah well its 6 of one, half dozen of another pretty much, i'm getting it allin if he wants to play for my stack regardless. Sometimes a smaller raise can be scary, and i think it correct to use both different raises in this spot to mix up your play.
