Picking up from hand I mentioned in http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=62780 and a thread I made in the MTT section.


How do you read players at donk levels? Generally they're very loose and aggressive, they bet/raise/all in with absolutely nothing.

I see guys with 4-9os calling an "all in" from not one but 3 other players!?!? Conversely, I see guys bet 90% of their stack at each round only to fold to a min bet on the river.

With KK, I raised to 6xbb, one caller, flop lands Q85, I bet, villain reraises, I call and he shows 58. Who can legislate for 58 being in the hole when they call such a large pre flop raise?

Now, I must be doing something right as I win far more than I lose. And I used to be pretty good at reading (before I started playing MTT freerolls) but still, opinions please. "Proper theory" goes out of the window at the <$10 SNG/MTT level.

My - perhaps paranoid - concern is that my success is/was not through getting read but just down to knowing that my hand is the best or is beat - even though in both cases, I have no idea what villain has).



Also, is there anyone who understands EV and would be willing to go over it 1 on 1 - via email or, preferably, chat? I've read the 2 articles at FTR and I slip into a coma each time.
