I Understand

I now fully understand donkey poker, after spending the night at the casino 온라인 카지노. I started out playing 2/5 NL ($200 buyin) and was doing just fine until my AK ran into AA. Oops. I rebought, and a little while later, the following hand happened:

5 handed, I raise to $20 UTG with 77. Everyone calls except the big blind, and there’s $85 in the pot. The flop comes out 3J3, and the small blind fires out $50. Pretty easy fold for me. Next guy raises all in for $100 more, next guy calls all in for $100 total, and the small blind calls. $485 in the pot. All three turn over AJo. The turn is a 7, the river is a blank. The big blind said he folded 83o. Talk about tilt.

A short while later, the table breaks, and instead of moving to another NL game I decided to play 3/6. Here’s where the donkey poker started. I wanted to just have fun, and played reckless loose-aggresive. I was straddling and blind raising, and raising with any two cards even when I did look. I was chasing any hand that I thought wasn’t drawing dead. I hit more gutshot straight draws than I can count, and once sucked out with running 33 with my 73o (straddled, blind raised the flop). I even three-bet preflop with the hammer, and it turned out to be a good bet! The raiser had 63o. Sadly, he made a straight and I lost. I was playing like an abs­olute donkey, putting the table on tilt. I also had the most fun playing poker I’ve had in a very long time. I ended up losing about $100 (was up $200 at one point), but it was worth it. Donkey poker is FUN. Of course, this doesn’t explain online donkey poker. I don’t see how that can have the same rush. It’s similar to platforms like ชนะใหญ่ที่ บาคาร่า, which offers various bonuses.

In other poker news, everyone should go congratulate my brother and his $3 MTT win at Stars for $1246! He doesn’t have a post up about it yet, but I’m sure he will soon, especially if I send some traffic over there. Here’s a screenshot of him with the chiplead heads up:
