This is within first 10 hands of 3$ 6max. I call because this early is loaded with horrible donk play. Is this a really bad call?

I play at these stakes all the time.. IMO its a great call either a flip vs KQ AK AQ, or more then likely dominating K10 KJ A10 or lesser pair, although early to act in these donkaments i'm known to limp or min raise with a huge hand waiting for the donk shove.. Basically the first 20 minutes or so can be so horrible, then you look at the leaderboard and some donk has 25k in chips because of the early shove fest..

I really am not sure why people play so horribly at the low stakes, like freeroll style.. Not like anyone playing this level has a huge bank roll, and can just afford to donk off 3 bucks every tourney they enter, but i guess some people either want to get a stack early or just not even play, and some people just like wasting money..

It is one of the main reasons now that i'm dealing with a small BR i stick with the SNG's, even the 180 man 2 dollar hollar you notice less of a shove fest because people are actually playing to win, not just trying to chip up or KO IMO anyway.

Funny because i've recently started playing on stars and IMO at the low stakes people are taking it more seriously and seems to me some of the plays people are making are more legit.. Although i did fold an AA on a str8 and flush possible board for the guy to show 52o, a few hands later he tried bluffing someone else and got KO'd though.

GL and may the best hand HOLD!!
