The fantastic donk style

[Werddown]

Yeah I cant beat them anymore.

Raise preflop? Call always.

C-bet? Call with any pair or any overcard to the river, no matter what.

Hit the flop? Fold like clean clothes. (coincidence)

How do I beat this player???

Only bet when I have a made hand? Only continue with the nuts if they raise me?

For a while I was beating them, but the last three days they own me. I'm their bitch. I dont stack them anymore. They know exactly when I have the nuts and lay down, and they know precisely when I bricked the flop and play back at me, or call to river with bottom pair.

Whats the winning strategy vs a loose passive calling station??? I forgot it?

This player plays mostly on the weekends and holidays.

bet when I have a made hand?

I raise AQ from the button. EP limper calls. Flop comes All low cards.

I'm not supposed to c-bet?

Because they always have one of those low cards, with their Ace or King or Queen or Jack or, TEN. Me having an overpair never enters their mind. They paired one of thier hole cards, and thats good enough for them... And god forbid I don't cbet and check behind.. Well, they're now on a mission to take the pot away from me regardless of their hand. I checked the flop, after all. Queen high is good.

They dont ever stack me... They just take down 10bbs after 10bbs after 10bbs and they fold when I actually have hands.

Yeah most likely I'm just running bad... but... Some of it has to be me.

Nothing wrong with cbetting at all.

And I think this has to be mostly varience.

You get your money from the calling stations when they keep calling you down when you finally do have a hand to cbet with.

[Werddown]

You're right I'm an idiot. It's variance. Fuck you variance!!

If you know they arent putting you on an overpair, why cbet? If they are calling stations, what does cbetting do when you miss? It gives them more money. Just check it down and fold if they bet at you, youll make back the blinds and your small raise when you do hit, you lose money by bluffing into a calling station.

I totally feel you...i've had so may crazy ass suckouts and bad beats sense i switched to WSEX i'm starting to believe all the crazies that say it is rigged and full of bots. and i never get played back at w/ nuts. the other day i bet 4xbb from utg w/ aces and had 6 callers!...how many people called when i bet 2 on flop of a-9-9......0. i had a lady call me down to 2/3 bets on flop and turn w/ an inside straight draw! people constantly chasing against me and getting lucky. i had some guy check raise me on the flop and the turn w/ nothing but k high! guess what card he hit on the river...yup a king. blah...it sucks. i'm paranoid now, playing poker scares me.

for those of you who think wsex isn't worth playing because there are too many regulars who are good...well this is somewhat true...but trust me there are a ton of donks who chase...flushes against very big bets. with a little luck i think i can make a lot of money at wsex...that is...if they stop rigging the deck against me! poker is rigged! rigged i tell you! (this is a joke.........at least i think it is)

[Werddown]

It was just variance... I'm up 10 buy-ins since I made this post

I feel better now.. Just play through that shit... And stay aggressive, don't get passive.. Thats what I did.

[The Izebox]

variance makes every player feel as if they dont know what theyre doing.

always good to make sure which is true.

keep betting, variance works both ways
