success at paradise (owned a donk)

[Suited_Up 2]

I've got to say. It's like a donkey parade over at paradise. I mean, it's no pacific, but still... compared to the sites I've been playing on lately, it's quite a welcomed change. I played 215 hands in this session just now, and I'm up 50/bb.So 25bb/100 isn't bad right? lol.I will post a few hands and show you one of the reasons why in a few minutes once I get the HH's together.

Ahhh...Positive variance is nice, isn't it?

what limits are you playing?i've had limited experience, and i mostly did just 50c/$1 and a little $1/2, and i thought it leaned closer to a donkish version of absolute (almost as tight, but definitely stupider players) than it did to pacific.overall, i just felt the tables were on the tight side during all hours of the day. three-handed flops were the norm, sometimes four, but almost never five or more.aseem

Those are the same limits I have been playing.Not neccisarily a lot to the flop, I usually picked tables between 40-50%... but there were definitely some in the low to mid 30's, I just tried to be choosy. So in that sense you're right. Just really stupid players.

hey kurt,in that second-last hand, you should either be three-betting ATo to isolate the donkey or folding. cold-calling isn't that great. i really like three-betting against that dumb of a donkey.aseem

Yeah you're right. It's just that this guy hit me out of nowhere, I was 3-tabling and after that first hand, it was like, holy crap this guy is raising every hand with nothing... I guess I didn't have time to react and really realize he was as dumb as he was yet. I was just willing to call with a broader range of hands if he was going to raise it up. By the time I really had it figured out I already busted him, lol.
