What is your definition of a donk? I hear a lot of chat about this donk and that donk and just want to know the opinions of what a donk is.
Good question.
I've only been playing Texas Holdem a few years but early on, I'd see this term. Same with 'Degen'.
I've seen it used negatively - 'You DONK'
And I've seen it used as to self accountability neutral 'I donked out of the tourney early'
So, it seems to have a wide range of use. I've never really used it - short of writing these comments about it.
Degen however is a strange one, on one hand, it seems it should be negative but I've seen people refer to 'degen' as 'degens like me play at CasinoX often'
As to Donk though, I think it makes sense to say as to one HAND or one DECISION - that it could be a DONK decision.
But to collectively call someone a donk? to limit their potential? and cheat them OF that potential to grow? and to learn? I think is too dark for my tastes.
'Your such a donk' etc.
FINAL ANSWER after writing that out? heh
I'd say a donk is a player that has high confidence? by low competence.
Now that invites - what is the anti-thesis of that? Because I have high competence but low confidence ! heh
