I hate the term, and really all the condescending trash talk online. Especially donk though because it's thrown out all of the time. Obviously online you're going to get pretty pissed off with the style of play but come on. Every table has a "pro" at it and it's a drag. We've all hit that river card on a questionable play, whatever happened to a little table etiquette and shaking losses off?
Donk has evolved into anytime someone loses and thinks they should have won and theyre pissed they use it lol.
Donk... lol decribes most PO'ers.. but its so overused it may be better just to say someone sucks.
My favorite is when someone flips out "donk this, donk that" as they get hyper aggressive and bust out. A lot of times it's pot, meet kettle. Idk it just irks me, especially seeing it in a freeroll. Be civil people.Quote:

I want as many donks around as possible to suck chips out of. They can get lucky like anybody but if they play stupid enough they will lose in the long run.
Donk is a very overused very lame term, people need to be original and come up with something different.
I often bray around the proverbial barnyard. But that's just me.
Oh man I love it. Especially when you type it in on Carbon and the donkey shows up with the funky tongue. Classic
i agree....people see some1 on tv use the term and its nothing but bsQuote:

Donk has become such a great poker term that oftentimes poker-skilled players will refer to unpredictable strategy as donkbetting ;)
I always thought a donk was when someone chased the river card and it eventually hit. I don't think its bad because I like to donk sometimes :)
ps. I have major gas right meow.
Again, the true definition of "donk" is a literal calling station. Recently, it has been used to describe a player as bad in general.
everyone is a donk sometimes. even when i see the pros play on tv they do stupid stuff. there's no perfect player, so i don't care if ppl think i'm a donk. so what.
look up TILTEMKID on BCP/ACR... huge DONK
Recently, it has been used to describe the person that just beat you. I've been called a donk so many times I should probably believe it. Most recently, I limped with 9 10 and flopped top two against A 10 who didn't raise ever. After the flop I bet it all the way down to his call each time. At the showdown, "Nice catch Donkey". I'd wager good money most of us have been called a donkey by some sore loser more than a few times.Quote:

Sometimes, though probably all for naught, I still do. Still, the best approach is to probably to just ignore them. Or, if you feel like it will give you an advantage rag them about there loss, but that can be a dangerous game. You may get them "all systems go, fire at will" set against you. And while that can be a good thing, variance can be a bitch. Also, you never know who else at the table may not like it and turn there sights on you.
I agree "Al Bundy".....hehQuote:
