This week’s term is donkey. In poker, a donkey is a weak, inexperienced, and generally bad player.

Historically, the donkey has been associated with ignorance and stubbornness, and, at the poker table, a donkey—or donk—is frequently identified by his/her poor play. Among the most common donk plays are calling every hand, especially with poor cards, chasing hands, refusing to fold bad hands, going all-in on weak hands, and continuing to bet against other players who show strength by raising the bet.
