Why do we hate donkeys?

Why is it that I get soooo angry while playing someone that hasn't a clue! I should actually be happy while playing a donk because in the long run that is who I get the money from. Yet everytime they suck out after putting their money in way behind it really {censored} pisses me off.

Why is that?

Because you have no real grasp of what poker is really all about?

Just following your lead. Ever hear of the 'search' function? Had you used it, you would have already answered your own question.

It's not the quality of their play, it is the quantity at the table. A few poor players is a great game, most of the table makes for a less than optimal situation.

I love playing 6max NL (online) with a table full of donkeys. I can imagine how full ring (live) could be frustrating.

Are you saying you want less donkeys on your table? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

If your results get worse if a lot of donkeys sit on your table than your not adapting properly.

If you don't love to have donkeys on your table (assuming your there to win money) than you have a fundemental misunderstanding of the game. Donkeys make mistakes, if they make mistakes and you learn how to abuse those mistake you will make money and they will lose money in the long run. So having donkeys on your table brings in the big bucks, so saying you hate donkeys is quite faulty logic.

I must say they can be quite annoying though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

You don't like maximum value?

we tend to focus on the times we lose the hand then the other times we win it which is natural, you must just realize that these guys are where the dead money comes from

From reading people think deeper than I do, I read maximum value plummets at poor player number six.
