Default let me know

When I'm playing in 2,3, or 4 table tourneys on Pokerstars, I find that the higher the Donkie level, the more I find myself let him do the betting for me. For instance: I'm holding KJs on the button and opened with a 3x raise PF, I get two callers. The flop comes 7 10 j rainbow. He bets 80 and I call, the turn shows a queen, he min bets again and I call with 2nd pr., the river has a blank and he bets 100, I call and we split holding the same hand. Not that his play was totally donkified (or at all for that matter), but I think over betting is something that more experienced players can benefit from. calling rather than raising depending on the situation

I find myself calling far more the less experience there is at the table, I just let them do the betting for me. This tactic is based on the premise that beginners games are based on bluffs and stealing. The hallmark of a young player is how much he tries to bluff when playing legit is more profitable at that stage in play.
