Exclamation Feature requests: donk bets

As donk bets manipulate the aggression factor and the times someone die bet the pot, it would really make sense to have a statistic how many times a player makes a donk bet, what is actually closer to Check and shows no aggression. But If you (especially) are multitabling some times U are not aware on the action going on on one of your tables. And U see someone making a 3/4 pot raise and U see in his stats that he bets the flop for 55%. But if he makes a lot of donk bets, this bet aquires respect, if not, then it could be a steal or building a big pot with a marginal hand. So I think a donk bet stat would be also really helpful.

Whats a donk bet?

3/4 pot bet could be represent a bet on draw, a bluff, a semi-bluff, a tilt, a bet on best hand, a bet on second best hand, a typical blocking bet on set, top pair top kicker, 2 pairs...

If you cant detect whos donk and whos not, you should avoid play poker or reduce your number of table at least... Cause you just looking for sangraal...

But "bad call" should be more usefull, lot more than "donk bet".

Bad call: call when pot odds are higher than odds hand draw

I don't think that a call against the odds is necessarily an indication of a donk. There are so many possible reasons to call against the odds (maybe excluding calling an all in). For example the intention to float or implied odds... We will have to spot the donks with a little more efford I guess.

Edit: Nevertheless, I have no idea, what shahrad is talking about, either.

for example, U are playing 100NL. There are a lot of people who bet every street with 2$. Sometimes in a raised pot ( I always reraise them) sometimes in a limped pot. This manipulates the aggression factor significantlly, although bettin 2 $ in a 20$ pot is by no means aggression. If U want, u can call it, blocking bets. But blocking bets are a kind of defence and not aggression.

U rasie preflop to 7$, BB calls, a dry flop with an A comes, he bets 2$, to see, if U have the Ace, as a bet this manipulates the aggressionfactor

In my eyes this is aggression, too although I got your point now. I'm not that thrilled about this idea, because you're saying a player who makes these kind of bets is passive. But I think a passive player would check-fold instead of bet-fold.

Just my opinion...
