| I'm not sure. I always thought it was brought about because the donks tend to be the workhorses/donkeys at the beginning of a tournament. They play crazy, knock a bunch of people and themselves out, and keep the tournament moving at a pretty high rate of action for awhile. |

It's funny how upset that players get when they get sucked out on by a donk, forgetting that they have probably had their fair share of donk moments, too! Everyone does something donk-like every once in awhile, even the professionals. Anyone that says they've never made a donk play isn't telling the truth or is suffering from VERY selective memory. It's the players that don't do anything BUT make donk moves that stand out. |

| Only person who might have started it and still uses it is Mike Matasow LOL...if you look closely at the way he talks with his grinding side to side ways...he reminds me of a friend of mine when he's on coke....(not the liquide but the powder) |

Matusow made the term popular during the ESPN WSOP broadcasts (either '04 or '05). |

I think whiners are a bigger pain in the butt than any donkey. I play live 3 to 4 times a week and I've made it pretty obvious I think the people that cry donkey are wussies and soreheads. It's funny that the whiners, almost all the whines I hear, are at the free taproom poker, not the cash games on the weekends. Which means that they, the weak players, are the cherished, to be succored at all times. |

| A fish is a player who never seems to know exactly whats up and has to think forever about simple play ( gasping like fish out of water), A donk shoves his or her chips in on draws and other such hands with less then good chances and win most of the time. They drive most learned players absolutly bonkers. And that end our tutorial for today...LOL |
