No need to get fancy vs two loose opponents. You are going to get buttons money by playing normal, not by playing like a total donk yourself.

Yeah, I need to get this mounted on a plaque on my monitor.

Suggestion: when you feel some spiritual or metagame need to act out in this fashion, wait until you have a diamond or two hearts so that you have an extra chance. There is no justification for taking a shot like this with black cards.

Yeah, you're right. That has been my policy for keeping my donkiness in check, historically.

While I certainly will get called by 77 etc, I thought there was a 1 in 6 shot this would work, since buttons range is the top 60% of his hands or so, and BBs range is the middle 50% or so given no 3bet. With ranges that wide they'll be left with unpaired cards quite often - BB will be stuck knowing the LAGy button is behind him, and button will see that i bet into 2 players...but I think this would be best saved for A) when i have ANY kind of a draw B) against thinking opponents C) when i have a history of donking flops with an A or big hand.

Thanks for the input and the correction.
