In my opinion, people who call others donks, or who hurl insults at strangers, are upset that you beat them in a hand. OK, so you played Q, 3 offsuit, out of position and beat their pocket KK. Maybe it was a donk move. Maybe your opponent figured only a fish would make that play. Maybe they were right. Maybe you did play that hand like a donkey. What's wrong with a donk move now and again, to throw off your opponents? I play with a regular group of guys. They know my style. When I mix it up, it throws them off and I get called a lot worse than 'donk'. But, it is all in fun, because we are friends and enjoy poking fun at each other. Online, where they are all strangers, I have no idea if the opponent is serious, ticked off, or just poking fun at me. AND I DON'T CARE! Neither should you.
