how do you stop being the donkey's donkey?

i keep losing big pots to donkeys who draw out on me with slim draws. what always happens is, these donkeys win from me, then get stacked by a good player (somehow they cant outdraw a good player, or get outdrawn by a good player), and leave the table.

it almost feels like a conspiracy.

thanks for letting me rant. does this happen to anyone else?

Stop losing to 4-outers, and you'll be fine.

Never. I have no idea what you're talking about. I've heard of these so called "bad beats", but I thought they were just urban myths.

No, no. You are the comedian, baby. What are you looking for? Sympathy? Nobody--absolutely nobody--wants to hear bad beat stories. Just trust me on this one.

This wasn't even a story. This was just bitching.

only about twice in the last week. huge huge fish drawout at 4:1 and 10:1 vs me for $2k a piece, then run up $8k stacks and dump it to everyone else. very frustrating.

Short Term Syndrome. It happens when all you think about is the money that you lost in any given hand or session, rather than the long term expected value of any given action.

I avoid bad beats by getting all in with the worst of it. Works great.

Exactly, the key to winning poker is being the guy who gives the bad beats. Think Gus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu, THE WINNERS!

if you are giving bad beats then you are in there with the worst of it. a generally accepted principle is that a good player will receive more bad beats than a bad player.
