Default HUSNG against super aggressive donk

OK, when playing these 2 and 5 sng's how is the best way to deal with a donk? Villain spews tons of money out according to sharkscope.

Just got beat in a 2 sng hu on FTP and just do not understand how to combat these @##$% donks! Villain is raising 6x BB all the time. Shows down weak hands. It is simple that villain feels that raising is the only way to win, cause he is super weak after flop. I wait and feel waiting for quality hands will eventually bust the guy, and I still get sucked out on. OH Well. I guess this is just a tilt post, since I am infuriated right now.

I guess the more important question is how do some of you play against a LAG donk in HU Sng's?

LAG trumps a TAG
TAG trumps a PAG
PAG trumps a LAG

I wanted it to rhyme so I called it PAG [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

A player who checks/call or checks/raises . Basically , a passive player .

Even though "Passive (P)" and "Aggressive (AG)" are basically opposite making "PAG" somewhat of an oxymoron.,, [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

My strategy for them is to fold till I get a strong hand, than raise, raise, raise. Usually this type of player is also a calling station and will call a re-raise pre-flop. If they hit something as small as bottom pair on the flop they often call you all the way to the river. If you can take a nice chunk of thier stack early they tend to calm down and are easier to play.

Aggressive calls imo.

What the LAGtards want from you is for you to define your hand for them. I know because I are one. I want you to either fold or play back at me so I can get away from it. By just calling you leave me confused as to where I am in the hand, ahead or behind. So instead of actually trying to hand read or break down your tendancies I will just do what I do best and puke chips at my opponent hoping he will go away.

mattak, the discussion here is about bad LAGs (I assume you are not one of them, because posting on 2p2 tells me you at least try to improve your game), and I donīt think those LAG donks can get away easily from decent hands. I would bet my good hands so I could get it in, and I will also make some aggressive calls.

BTW, I love playing those LAGtards donkeys.
