A donk is short for donkey which is what poker players started calling anyone they wanted to call a jack ass because they weren't allowed to swear at the table. I win, I win.

You lose, you didn't describe the donk!

The donk is not only a player that enters pots with garbage, call PF raises or all-ins with garbage, he is more versatile than that - he hangs in there calling all with "Air", he does not have an inclination as to what you are holding or trying to convey ... he is clueless ... in most cases he is a slots player playing poker with his vast slots knowledge, but he can also be on the other side as one with the nuts checks it down to the river and as last bettor on the river checks it again and he can also fold to a "sit out". The donk is not generally a bettor or raiser ( however he can be), he is generally a caller when he should be counting his chips instead of playing his hand. The donk is a clueless moron that is also a "Luckbox" - Look if anyone knows donks ... I know donks - I win!

But, you didn't say whether you could get along with the donks!! I can as long as they make enough mistakes to keep my chip stack growing. Ok, let's call it a draw and split the winnings.

1. Overview

There are approximately thrity-five-hundred species of Donks, with numerous subspecies. They receive their name from the latin Equus Africanus Asinus for the similarities in brain functions. Their timid and reckless behavior acts as a mind blowing weapon that can destroy countless monitors, and lay path to untold demolished office keyboards and mouses. The scientific name Donk comes from the English work Jackass, meaning a dummy, stupid, idiot, dunce, and most common used on Pockerstars the $%#$%^.

2. Prey

Donks consume all poker players on all sites but prefer the hunting grounds of Pokerstars. The ease in which they can deposit their weekly paychecks is what attracts them to the site as well as its prey. They subdue their prey by quickly calling all bets thrown at them without a though, as opposed to thinking things through and making the correct call to fold. It has been said that the force in which their victims scream “you ****ing donk” has been the cause of some small earthquakes that have been felt in multiple continents.

3. Reproduction

All though many kinds of Donks exist not all are born as Donks. Some start of as great poker players as the famous poker genius Crapshoot. He was once a well know and established poker wiz before falling victim to their cloning. Once a player gets Donkanized there is little to no parental care from the Master Donk. The new Donk seems to take on a life of its own and grows in leaps and bounds paving the way for more Donks.

4. Safety and Identification

Donks very in size, different Avatar’s, Names, and by sites. If the Donk is not cornered or imminently threatened, it will usually attempt to steal your blinds, but will not always do so. Donk outs often occur when players startle the Donk with a Bet, raise, or a call. Those players while provoking the Donks have usually underestimated the amount of Donks in the game(roughly two-thirds the size of tournament) and speed in which they can group and mount an attack. This can be particularly surprising since the Donks can strike without fear of pulling their lever.

Guides are available throughout the internet, bookstores, libraries, and local conversational sites such as THF that aid Players from all sites on identifying and destroying a Donk. The advice give has ranged from avoid going up against a Donk and let them eliminate themselves, to the create your own tournament to keep them out(this works well with full Donks but sometimes Donks strike from with in)

5. First Aid

When Donks strike occurs, the amount of pain induced into a player cannot be gauged easily. Symptoms can occur quickly, and may cause death to monitors and keyboards. In some cases hours may pass before serious brain damage can appear.

Experienced bartenders are typically a quick help to neutralize the pain which range from 0 when there is no damage done to 5, when there is a life-threatening amount. The early stages reflect the amount of bruising, and destruction to office supplies. In more severe cases(stages 4 and 5) there may also be symptoms such as lip-tingling, dizziness. Bleeding, vomiting, shock, difficulty breathing paralysis, drooling, and massive hemorrhaging out the culo are also common.

Quick downing of a beer or a shot is critical, and a must recommended treatment by pros who have been Donked such as Cat5Cane, GetTheShades, Gimme, and LuckyDevil. It is very important to keep a Donk victim calm in order to avoid elevating their heart rate and accelerating their meltdown. Untrained individuals such as GiJoeValdez, CardLovingCat, NightmarethFH, or Savage should not attempt to calm the player, as this treatment may be more destructive than the Donks themselves.

A donk would be any poker player who always finds themself on the bad side of the odds. They are mostly found online because they do not have to answer to any of their goofy actions, as they hide behind a computer and do not have to deal with anybody up in their face, and thus hiding their identity. However, you can still find them in live games or tourneys also, but people who play live are more reluctant to make such hideous "donk" moves as the ones you see online. A lot of donks are new to the game and have no idea what odds are or anything of the sort thus they find themselves on the bad side of the odds time and time again and they don't even know it. Since they are new to the game most of them have no idea what it means when someone has raised and then another has re-raised, and they sit there with their AQoff and still decide they want to play. Also donks have not a clue of what their opponents could have as they are only concentrating on their gutshots, flush draws, or bottom pairs. What makes donks so dangerous is one simple fact.... THEY WILL NOT FOLD EVER. So when veteran players find themselves in hands with donks, and are 80% to win, the simple fact is 20 percent of the time veteran players will lose HUGE pots. Now I myself get along with donks just fine because if it wasn't for them I would not find myself ahead in so many hands, I just deal with the beats they deliver by drinking and smoking. After all it is gambling and without donks, the game sure wouldn't be as exciting as it is.

If your smart enough to be able to describe, or recognize a Donk. Well you should at least be smart enough to keep your wits about you. This guy didn't!!!






And a translation on the commentary would be nice if anyone can help.

Is it just me or does that guy look a lot like GiJoe, and if it is indeed him, did he give you permission to use that footage Savage?
