whos not a donk

every1 who reads this admit the truth. every1 is a donk at times i was a donk yesterday in a carbon freeroll it was midnight and i wanted to go to sleep so i just kept on going all in. i started at 1000 and went up to 6000 and the people were calling donkey and a s s hole so i finally just left. but the point is whos not a donk:deal:

David Benyamine <--- Guy is murdering poker right now

i am a donk for sure and a fish to boot. lol

Well if you've ever bluffed and caught a river card for the victory you are probably a donk! If you only play aces straight up with good 4x blind or so bets then you are not a donk.

i just think people confuse trying to make a move and making a dumb call.

I've tried to make many moves with garbage, got called and then hit, which promptly started the name calling. I think its when people make the CALL with the garbage.

that being said, i'm sure i have too

I am a bona fide badonkadonk, if the table is playing ultra tight. It is more fun to be a donk, less profitable, but more fun.

I agree witht the original poster. Everyone has a bit of donk in him. It is almost a requirement to win at this game. You must change up your game from time to time, just to keep your opponents guessing. If that requires playing 7-2 offsuit from time to time, so be it.

It's all about perspective.

A FISH is a bad player that you beat.
A DONKEY is a bad player that beats you.

The name calling is almost always an inferior player trying to show thier superiority.

IMHO, what you did wasn't being a donkey. A DONKEY plays that way expecting to win. You played that way expecting to loose.

i play alot of KO tournies because they are my favorite, there is alot of name calling during these, but i think it is because people are just trying to get the knockout. i find that in freerolls and low buyins, you just can't bet enough to protect your hand someone is always willing to push all in with nothing. as the buyins increase one would expect play to increase but it doesn't, i got knocked out of a $75 game on the bubble with 1010 flop is 1088 fullhouse yay push all in, guy calls with JJ you can guess the turn and river yeah J and J. whos the donk him for calling or me for getting greedy and pushing all in.

well some people know when to fold so they are not donks. some1 who calls a bet on turn with 3 outs and hopes to get lucky on river is a donk. bluffing a pot doesn't make it a bad play unless u get reraised and call with nothing then your a donk.

Wouldnt say Phil Ivey is a donk

nevermind we are all donks at times lol

sometimes i just feel like playing a lot of hands even tho i know i shouldn't....so if i know the hands suck but play them am i a donk ...or is it when you play crappy hands and you don't know they are crappy that makes you a donk....either way being a donk from time to time is fun anyway.....

You're right. I've decided that everyone is a donk at one point or another in any given game. In fact, when I know that I'm going to make a dumb call, I just call myself a donk before the call. That stops anyone else from having to bother.

i dont have a clue even to how to play the game so guess im a donk however my bank roll says different i just cant figure it out lmao

I feel you i've been like that at times you just wanna go or just don't feel like concentrating enough to have a good game and you just are a donk and people get mad, and you now understand why some people are donks XD

Its true, everyone is a donk every now and then, even if they are tired and want too loose, or think they have the best hand but they do not, untill the river of course

I am not a donk. I am a suckout Queen. It's a matter of perspective.

The truth

You have to....get your money i9n when youy're pretty sure you're ahead.../...you havew no control over lady luckj.

Edit: Too drunk to fix

Donkeys call in all there chips on insane draws after flop and catch runner runner. I don't consider myself a donk if I call an a/a with k/k or such and spike a K

I think that a donk is someone who has no chance of winning the hand, and calls for all their chips to end up losing. Not someone who is maybe trying to make a move and win a pot, it is still gambling. It seems in the freerolls all the "normal" type of play is thrown out and people dont have anything to lose so they try for the quick double or whatever, then if they hit something they are called donks but usually are watching shortly after anyway.

I know one guy that is a donk for sure... just lost the whole tourney against him, had pocket K ... guy is an aggressive shit bluffer style player goes all in in early pos. i call from the button and see that Im heads up against 7J. Turn 7 river 7... damn this is bull shit, Im sorry guys just steaming had to post it

Donk? Me?

Never!

HAHAHA...okay maybe sometimes. I also go on tilt more often than I should, that's more of a downfall than playing loose.

Durr is a fish cause he just lost the biggest pot in Full Tilt history haha.
