I just came back from the dead right on on the bubble of a 10 man SNG as the donks either side of me waged war. I watched gobsmacked as my chance of making ITM went from ‘highly unlikely’ to 'ITM!' as one guy dusted off his entire stack with JJ on an Axx flop. His thought process must have been ‘JJ is a great hand, I’ll keep betting here.’ Donkeys do not see the flop, they just see the lovely carrots in front of them.
I have been keeping a diary of tilt rants lately and it has helped me to calm down and enjoy microstakes nlhe for the rollercoaster ride of chance that it is. It has also helped me to reflect on and improve my game. I have therefore decided to turn it into a blog so maybe it will provide some small amusement or educational value to other long suffering micro donkeys. The simple fact of the matter is that at the pitifully small stakes I play we are all donkeys. It is just that some of us are blessed with the ability to stop and question our donkey instincts. Some of us, sadly, are not.
I hear you Micro Donkey! I've had many micro tilt rants in my time. Good to see you recording and reflecting upon your game. V entertaining.
