Am I calling you a donk? Ha! No, but a donk doesn't fold this. I'm not saying anyone who calls it is therefore a donk. If you're calling it based on range and maths, then you're not a donk. If you just see two nines, and don't care what the others have, and don't care about maths, then you're a donk!
I don't sit and wait for the best hands, but when it comes to a shove, I'm obviously going to tighten my range. 99 is just one of those awkward hands for me.
But, I think you guys are right. My game is nowhere near good enough yet to be making the right decisions with hands like this. It's easy if I have QQ, anyone can play automatic poker. I'm trying to be better than the donks, but obviously I'm not there yet! So I guess that makes me a donk! But, at the very least, I'm trying to drag myself out of the rut...
