Are you a “bingo donkey” player in facebook poker ?
To know whether or not you’re a facebook poker bingo superstar, you must first understand exactly what a poker donkey is. A donkey in poker is someone who plays loose and wild, but always manages to catch his card on the river and win the hand aka “river rat”. He’s the guy (or girl) who wets themselves with joy when they get dealt Ace – King because they just cant wait for the Ace to fall on the flop so they can go all in and win it. But when the Ace doesn’t fall, they go all in anyway because – hey…the Ace *always* comes right? Well in the case of a facebook poker donkey, yeah .. it usually does.
The Ace – King all in is a classic facebook poker donkey move, but they also have other moves that can help distinguish them. If any of these seem familiar to you because they’re part of your playing style, you might be a facebook poker donkey:
You chase anything and everything.
When you get 7 – 2 offsuit, the first thing that comes to your mind is “I should fold this…but what if 7 – 7 – 2 comes on the flop? The poker donkey is the eternal optimist, unable and unwilling to put down any cards because of the 3% chance that he might land a huge hand on the flop.
You were born to call.
Did someone who has been raising the entire hand just go all in after the river? They probably have a very strong hand, but what the hell right? Call their bet and show ‘em whose boss with your monster pocket pair! A donkey will call just about every raise if there is the smallest chance that they might hit their flush or straight, however slim the chances. Donkeys love the excitement of being “in the pot” and to them poker is more of adrenaline rush then a game of skill and discipline.
You love to bluff.
The poker donkey is a master of bluffing. The worse their hand is, the more they feel the need to bluff with huge raises. They watched a video on youtube about how to bluff in texas holdem and they believe they’ve mastered the most difficult maneuver in poker in 10 minutes of study. This particular breed of donkey can be distinguished by their nervous “chatter” in the chat box, something along the lines of “GO AHED AND CALL I DARE YOU” or “I HAVE ACEZ LOLZ!!”.
You’re always begging for chips.
This is perhaps the most telling and obvious characteristic of the facebook poker donkey. No matter how hot of a lucky streak a donkey might catch, in the end the odds always catch up with them and they lose all their facebook poker chips. Thats when they start out on their mission from room to room announcing to all their friends about how they almost won a huge pot but instead lost all their chips, and if they could just loan them a few million they will get paid back right away. Yeah..sure thing donkey, just let me finish this hand.
