Mixing it up

[sirplus]

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?

[Chelsea4thewin]

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

as if they need 2

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.

[BigPete33]

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
