The donkey is a player who makes unprofitable movements, is a player who does not know about numbers, makes bluffs meaningless, makes them when he should not do them.
They often do mini bet to try to see a turn and a cheap river, in freerolls and micro limits it may work for them, but at higher levels it doesn't, that's where the term donkbet comes from,
And as one partner said above, they are very dangerous players.
Unlike the agro player, against these players you must place strong bets, one two and three streets.
Do not try bluffing against them, because they can pay with a third pair.
Guess what color I have to that kind of players.

hi hi
i am without question a "donk" been called that often and worse
i see that in this thread an overwhelming majority are united in name calling & belittling poker players like me (and just maybe other players on CardsChat, new to the game, that take poker seriously, and work to improve their game)
interesting that 95%+ poker players are "losers"
i suppose all these classless name callers that tell us how brilliant they are, are in the 5%?

I really don’t know what to call these players other than “donkeys”. It’s just very unconventional plays. Especially when I don’t know the player and makes weird large bet and I figure they have the best hand and fold. To my surprise I have them dominant
They Thought they had a better than me and was actually betting for value
Sometime I call and they get lucky on the river. Sometimes I fold cause to big bet cause it’s seems like that got the goods when it’s just a marginal hand. But the worse part wasn’t that they were betting to make you fold they bet cause they thought they had the best hand and it was for value
So what do I call these players ?

I would say people say about others that are donks if these guys make poker moves that seem weak. But be careful, it may look a weak move but it actually be well thought of, so ib this case the player can be the oposite of a donk

Donk is the one who brings you chips.
I am certain this term shaped itself with having that idea behind it - the donk, the one who brings. In undeveloped world donkeys are still used to bring burdens.
In poker, donkeys bring you chips. A LOT of chips.

Every single one of you describing yourselves with a tiny weapon in your poker playing arsenal where a player has just won a showdown that you thought was the best at the time but you got pipped by the one card you never expected them to have. This immediately prompts you to mark the player with a note and start to use your biggest weapon in your arsenal, patience, and thank him gracefully for keeping your chips warm when you finaly show him that you are the better player and get them all back and more. Hence the term Donkey as in the burden holding animal it refers to, temporarily because he did get one on you in the first place so always bear that in mind when you call someone a donk as you were one in the first place. To call any poker player names is disgraceful as you belittle yourself being a poker player as well and it is not only the cards that you need to learn and study but it is human behaviour that is closely attached to it as well. That being said think about all the times you proposed a limp tax on a full limping table with a 2 7 off, or similar, and got away with it. Were you the donk if someone called? So in the end an attitude of "well played but hold on tight as I have you marked now and I will be back for my chips," instead of showing aggression at one who is prepared to risk their skills with yours along with their money. Always know your idea of a top hand at any one time at any street may not be the same to other players is what makes Texas Holdem NL a unique game. At the time.

Donk do donk bets, biggest idiotism is like pushing all in with AK/AQ when you have some 50-100bb and is first to act. You ONLY get called with better hand, not worth stealing blinds.
Maybe in later tournament, but not early stages bro.

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.
Anyone who goes all in with a weak hand and wins!

Donkey is a domesticated subspecies of wild donkey that played an important historical role in the development of the economy and culture of man and is still widespread in the economy of many countries of the world.Very useful animal! In poker there is a two-legged variety of donkey...Extremely unpleasant and useless creature!!!

An inexperienced player who makes odd betting movements without meaning pays a hand that makes no sense, etc.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.
