Is there anyway to prevent donkeys from drawing when you have the nuts
 
here is the problem when you are at micro stakes, it seems that you cannot prevent people from drawing whatever the price.
This aspect is good on the long run but on a session it good be desastrous.
1 Example: 0.10 / 0.20 NL

Hero: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero raise 1$
Two callers.

Flop

Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

hero bet pot 3$
P1 fold, P2 raise 6

hero thinks he has two pairs or a set and is practically sure he is drawing to the spades given the villain.
then hero goes all in for 29$ just to take the pot which is enough for me.
Called.
Villain: K4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], not even drawing to te nuts, and calling 5BB PF with this bleep... OK he had plenty of outs but is this a good play from him? Should I minraise or close to it to eventually loose less money?

The end of the story you know it orelse I would not be writing this.
Solution 1: Go up in limits, ok i know but donkeys are everywhere, should I go 5/10 NL to see something decent, I can't anyway.
Solution 2: Check the nuts on the flop, loosing the value of it and waiting for this nuts on the flop to become the nuts till the river. This way I am making like 10$ for 8 hours

Solution 3: Stop online poker, and look the guy in the eyes when you reraise him all in. It seems that virtual money has not the same value as green bills.

I advocate Solution 3, what do you think?

I know this post is useless and I apologize for this it is just that on this session I got like 4 or 5 times the nuts, the real ones not close to it, the nuts on the flop and got bleep... by guys that are not even aware of pot odds and whom would sell their mother to get their flush.

Invoice: like 200$ on a 3 weeks built bankroll of 500 with microlimits.

Sorry for wasting your time, I needed it.

not only is the post whinney and useless but it is in the wrong forum. This is the Micro-stakes LIMIT forum.

This post should be in BBV but could also maybe get away with being posted in the Micro-stakes No Limit forum

move to nl forum for more appropriate sympathy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
in nl you can bet enough to make the opponent draw incorrectly, often.
we in limit suffer a far worse fate.
just keep betting big with your good hands and if your opponents keep making bad calls you will profit.

tl;dr

Responding to the title, I generally have Mr. Spock or some red-shirt crewman put me through the transporter into their house and punch them in the back of the head so they time out and auto-fold.

Whups, I didn't even read the WHOLE title, just the part about donkeys drawing. Why do you want donkeys to not draw when you have the nuts?

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

locked. OP, you need to find a more appropriate place to vent.
