Mixing it up

I have found that I get far better results if other players either see me playing like a donk and so try to call when I am not in the hope of catching me being a donki

OR

thinking I am ultra tight and agressive and then being too scared to call when I have a mediocre hand

Any tips on whats the best way to promote these images?

i dont know think trying to promote those images is that good for your game

i find the best way is to change gears, meaning play tight for a while until people catch on then suddenly change to loose poker and lots of people will fold to u because they think ur always playing the nuts

however, a real donk is the player u want to look out for, he wont pick up on ur play and will call an all in because he has two picture cards in the hole :lol:

:mrgreen: as if I shall tell anyone what I do any why !
still try to work it out 4 myself...

easy for me being a donk is my natural game.

folding is cheap it saves chips.

high cards are a good help but dont always win

beware the two pair.

ooo yes!

flopping 2 pair is often a painful exercise for heaps of players!

I can only assume that whoever they are playing against must only be thinking in single pairs and/or straights and flushes which they duly chase (and often hit) because they might have only put you on say top pair.

Must confess, can't remember the last time I put anyone on 2 pair.

I guess I will work it out
i agree, 2 pair based on pocket cards, are hard to pick as is a set from pockets
