Hi All ,
I want to share with you how much of a DONK i was today.
I opened couple of tables and by mistake , one of them was PL (donk moment no. 1)
I had pocket 8 at SB and I decided after long time not getting any hand , to play it (donk moment no. 2).
When MP3 raised , I decided to re raise to steal the money (donk moment no. 3) and he called , I decided to push on the flop as a bluff. (donk moment no. 4).

Usually when I start doing stuff like that (tilt time) i just leave the computer.
btw , After this hand , I left the computer and came to the forum , no more poker for me tonight , need to relax from today's (bad) session.

take some time to read the psychology articles in the strategy section, there are 3 basic articles and 14 bronze... take some time and read all of them... and pay as much attention as u can on it... this articles helped me alot with tilting.

I'd say push preflop, but pot-limit, pfffff... :)

Since it's pot-limit you could've called for set value with all the money, but I think fold would be the best option here.

As played, pushing flop is fine as a c-bet, K and J are scare cards for your opponent, so your FE should be pretty high and you're more or less commited anyway.


Pot limit was by mistake , Fulltilt lobby keeps re sorting all the time when people join/leave tables , so sometimes i want to double click a room and the one below it opens.

I think I'll use some AHK scripts to open rooms ;-)

Pot limit? Does that exist? seriously, dont join those tables and instant leave it :)

You cant push as shortie on PL tables which strips us of one of our most efficient tool :(

About the hand, I would call since you cannot go all-in.

Best regards,
Gerv
