Donks really make my blood boil when they call to the end with nothing or bottom pair and make miracles on rivers. I really love donks when they give you their money. Love/Hate.

Love: http://www.pokerhand.org/?714505 When the board paired on river, the only thing I was really worried about is if he had QQ, KK, or AA. His awful mini-raise from the small blind did convince me it was an easy call on the river. When I saw what he had, I was dumbfounded. Why does he call turn?

Hate: http://www.pokerhand.org/?714513 My check raise on flop was correct. Nice $1 bet into $5 donk. I lead out on turn. The $5 was maybe a little weak into $10. He calls. When the ace hit on the river, I knew I was in trouble. I check, he bets $4 into $20, and I call for information. Does he think his 10 is good on flop and turn? Sometimes I don't get the donk logic. They need to write a book and I would buy it. Title: "Bottom Pair Calling Station" or "I Love AJ"

Still stalled with progress. My numbers still look good. 20/15, or 19/14 average.
Position VPIP$ stats good:
Button: 27.02
Cutoff: 22.08
MP: 14.83
UTG: 10.75
BB: 11.02
SB: 25.02

Comparing my stats to HyperAggrDonk's help session, my only position stat a little light is the cutoff. Should be around 24 or 25 VPIP. My attempt to steal blinds is 31, so my button play is making up for it. Went to SD% pretty good at 23.15 with 54.70 won money at SD. I thinks it's just poker donkings and random number generator determining my results. I'm still happy with my play and excited to log on still. I'll let you know when this changes. LOL.
