The calls some players make are just fucking beyond me, just bubbled in the 888 10k Christmas free roll was chipped up and so was the Russian moron donk who knocked me out, I'd been playing tight and I assume had a tight rep on the table I'd been on. I get KQ suited on the button and the blinds are 1k/2k just about everybody limps, more then enough value in the pot for me to ship it and try steal and even if I get called I'm still super strong assuming AK, AQ wouldn't be limping preflop with that much action, so as usual the typical Russian fuckwit who I presume has no idea how to play poker calls my all in with K5 off and binks his 5 on the river after we both flopped our king, call me a racist, call me a whinger, but I'm yet to run into one half decent player that has the "Russia" location on the table, they're all fucking garbage! and always seem to be chipped up. K5 off. Lol
I also don't want to read the 50 comments about "oh but you want the donks to make bad calls like that!!" Because nobody does in a tournament near the bubble, in a cash game I would totally agree with you (and even then it's still fucking beyond annoying when they suck out with A4 against your AK for a whole BI), but not during the bubble of a tourney. I was placed 34th out of the remaining 527 players at the time of elimination.

G'Day mate, from what you wrote i can understand how pissed off you are.First yes i'll say you that these Russian donkies don't have an idea about poker.They think it's like bingo,just call small raises and see if they can catch something.This thing ofcourse shouldn't annoy you even he ruined this tourney for you.For a nice "antirussian vacine" i'd advice you to take part in some BRM tourneys for the BRM Leaderboard and you'll find the way how to play against russians-ukrainians-romanians(and all those soviet countries).In first 1000 tourneys i was thinking that this madness is unbitable but i was wrong cause i fund the antirussian play.Russians want a chip flop with any dumb 2 cards,why don't you give them that and after bet big,if they catch something,you know how good it is against your cards.

cunt kings, lol it really is true. the only people who will disagree with you are the russians.
and guffy thats a totally different story thats just simply value betting a donk, he was one of the big stacks how do you call off K5 offsuit to a player with a pretty tight table rep for about 3/4 your stack? its beyond pathetic.

Yeah that sucks but look at it this way. If you'd seen his cards preflop you'd be wanting him to call wouldn't you? I know I would. And, if he hadn't hit his five, you'd be all laughs and smiles.
Around 72% of the time you're going to win that hand so in reality you want donks to be calling that all day. Getting angry on the occasion when luck favours the donk can only negatively affect your game. I know it's hard but you just have to shrug this s**t off.
