A solitary superdonk

Some years ago, when I was playing lots of rebuy tournaments, I encountered lots of superdonks. These are skill-less players who routinely go all in, hit the felt, rebuy, go all in, hit the felt, rebuy, ad nauseum. Lather, rinse, repeat  ... The PokerStars Valueraptor tournaments, which are my new midnight train, allow re-entries during the late registration period, but somehow the superdonks have stayed away. Last night, I encountered one, but it was a lone wolf.

This is an excerpt from my July 12, 2022 post. Tonight, in the second tournament I entered, I encountered another lone wolf superdonk. I waited for an opportune time to call his customary all in preflop bet, and found it when I was dealt pocket sevens. I called, he turned over cocktail napkins, my sevens held up, and I doubled up through him. As a rule, I hate superdonks, but sometimes I love them in isolation :-)
