Since I screwed up my last post, I will post one of my hands. I dont have this one in my database so its off the top of my head. It was from $25nl just when I made the switch over from limit to NL.

I was in early position with AKo, raise 4xBB and get 1 caller. Board is all rags, I continuation bet and villian min raises me, I call. Turn is a King, I bet, villian goes all in, I call. I lose to villians set. HEE HAW!

So ive been 10 tabling 25NL the past few weeks following a pretty basic 15vpip TAG strategy. Averaging $15/hr which isnt too bad, and I recently just moved up to 50NL. I was kind of worried that just playing super tight wouldnt work as well as it did in the $25NL until I saw this hand:

(bisons hand converter isnt really working for me)

Party Poker (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero raises [$2], 2 folds, Villian calls [$2], 3 folds Pot is $4.75.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets $5, Villian Calls, Pot is $14.75

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $10, Villian reraises to $20, Hero goes all in, Villian Calls

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $100-ish

Results in white below: 
Hero has Ad Ah (full house, aces full of threes).
CO has 8h Jh (two pair, eights and threes).
Outcome: Hero wins . 

Oops just realised that it was supposed to be OUR hands. Sry, but this hand is still donk-tastic so hopefully nobody minds.

Honestly, something like 90% of the hands in this thread don't look horrible to me. Most of the time, the "donk" play is pushing rather than calling, and pushing can almost always be justified.

I reckon if you got people to post their best plays, out of context, they may not look too different to their worst except for the results.

Both groups would involve making a big read and backing it with your stack. When the read is good you're a genius, when not....

Properly played NL is on the edge between maximum value and tilt and it can be a fine line.

Allinlife wins Donk of the Thread because of his hand below. And I don't think it's even close...

Why? Were you 120% sure he would fold to a raise? Or did you misclick?
