"Winning poker has always been about aggressive play.

These days, though, aggressiveness seems to get taken to extraordinary levels. At the 2008 World Poker Tour’s $9,700-buy-in event at Connecticut’s Foxwoods Resort, with blinds at $150-$300, longtime pro Kenna James open-raised to $900 with K-Q of hearts from late position. The player on the button called.

The flop came A-8-5, rainbow. With the backdoor nut-flush draw, James bet out $1,300. The button called.
“As soon as he called me,” James said, “I can sense that he’s floating me, trying to see what happens on the turn and maybe take it away from me.”......MORE


Next time this happens to you... what will you think?  Were you outplayed or did you just got stomped on by a donkey?

The hyper aggressive style is in. It seems to me that this case was an extreme example of LAG play by both players. It is very easy to call this a donkey stomping. But to be frank, I see this style all the time.

The freerolls everywhere are a prime example of no-blink calls and raises. Now I play more buy-ins. And there is some improvement, but not really. Still plenty of calls with air.  Still plenty of ace rag play. Still plenty of fishing. 

Hyper aggression seems to be everywhere. I really enjoy our forum games where the donkey play is at a minimum

Timely bluffing is certainly part of the game.  As villaridge posted in another thread, donkeys never have to worry about being bluffed.  The lower the stakes of a game, the less effective a bluff is.  So for a freeroll, bluffs are useless for the most part.
