Top Free Online Poker Player Reveals How To Gamble In Poker Tournaments
If you’ve played poker for anytime at all, especially free poker online or lost a wad of money in cash games, and shook your head in wonder at why and how some people insist on playing what is universally called donkey or donk style poker. Basically donk poker is poker where the player (the donkey) calls every hand no matter how poor it is, even 7-2 all in offsuit is fine by them, they’ll go for it, close their eyes and pray for a miracle, it’s what we call donking the hand.
I’ve seen no end of players donking. I’m not sure if it is the fact they are playing free poker, or they get an adrenaline rush from it, or truly have no idea how to play poker. It may well be how they learned to play themselves, and never learned the many concepts of poker play such as outs, pot odds, etc.
I will also say, that trying to play donkey poker will break you faster than any other style of poker. You may win a few hands and build a small bankroll, but nearly every player I have seen play this style of poker goes broke and you will soon see them asking for a loan, or spending endless real cash in order to play again.
It can be quite frustrating to play against donkey style players. You may lose a few hands and be tempted to allow that emotion to affect your style of play, but in the long run, good poker play will only build your bankroll not bankrupt you. Patience is the number one skill you must possess to play a good game of poker and build your bank.
So when you are tempted to change your style of play, and we’ve all done it a time or two, remember in the long run you’re the one who will still have a bankroll to play with while others will be scrambling to find someone to front them some chips!
To get experience playing against donks and to learn how to push through them, play free poker where you will find hordes of donks who will be more than happy to test your sanity! Free online poker games sites are also perfect places to learn how to play poker for beginners. You can learn the ropes in a low risk zone and also play the donk and learn why you should not play this way but without losing loads of money!
