In actual ring game (sometimes up to 10 players) not online, how do you handle or what is your strategy in playing against multiple calling stations/donk players?
I had a bad experience playing against those people, they keep on calling my raise only to find out they are just on a draw or having the lowest pair on the flop then suddenly they rivered me!!
They keep on playing up to the river hoping the river will help them, unfortunately for me, these people seems lucky and they get what they want in the river!! Imagine I have the best hand pre-flop up to the 4th street, I keep on betting/raising but suddenly bad-beaten on the river by these donks! Either they get the flush or got a 2 pair on the river. My raises are either half the pot or quarter the pot or even double the pot size itself, but still they keep on fuckn calling. They don't seem to know when to fold. Please help!

Hi,

Welcome to the forums.
The first thing you should know is that there is a Beginner's Circle where you should post questions like this.
The best place to start is here if you are looking for answer is here: The learning starts here
This post may very likely be moved to the Beginner's Circle so if there are any additional responses you'll find them there.
Good luck!

What tasha says, Have a look around the beginners circle . There is a wealth of stuff that you should know. There is stuff in there that you didnt know you didnt know.

Never correct them. Never get mad at them. When they win, thell them great hand. Get to know them and make a living from them.
Take the advice of the others and you will see what we mean.

bad plays only encourage bad players...you'll profit from these donks in the long run.
Current Goal: Breaking 50NL
