I was expecting great opponents. Surprised at how many fishies there were. There were one or two good ones though.

I have noticed this too, although after 500 I am at 7% ROI so I am not exactly crushing the game. I think that when the average Party Donk decides to play, he will choose a $50 as opposed to a $30 because it just seems like a more round number. This is just a random theory but my god, there are some VERY fishy people playing these.

Uhoh. You were being serious weren't you.

Personally, I find the $30s still more donkish, but I should start to evaluate the $50s at peak hours.

They're both donkish. The difference being at the $55s you can sometimes have a reasonable stack remaining when one does a particularly donk play on you, whereas on the $33s you're usually dead in the water or out.

it doesn't really get tougher till the 215's, the 109's are pretty easy too

Nah, seriously, I've heard that too, but I'm still not going to take a stab at them just yet. But the $55s are insanely donkish at times, some idiot last night I managed to stack off after AKQ flop (two hearts), Th coming on turn when I had AJo, and he called with A3, no hearts. I bet, he raised, and after some deliberation I pushed. No idea what he thought he was ahead of. Then you get the muppets calling sb pushes with, erm, 65s. I really don't think some of them know what the hell they are doing..!

It's posts like this that make me look forward to the future. Any time I get frustrated grinding the 11's, I see a post like this, and it helps me refocus on why I'm doing the grinding.
