Raise-vs-Donk – This stat can be truly awesome. There is a school of poker thought out there that says “always raise donk-bets because they are weak”.The idea is that most strong hands will generally still go for a check-raise rather than a donk, so a donk looks like a weakish protection bet. Donk: noun buttocks. She got a nice donk. I'm freezing my donk off out here. When do they unlock the doors? See more words with the same meaning: buttocks, butt, ass.

Meaning


Is that a strict definition? Or are there other uses? For sometime now I
have, perhaps mistakenly, thought of donk-betting as min-betting in a NL
game, whether it is a lead bet or one from last position, but minimum or
very small into a relatively large pot. Am I wrong in thinking that is
'donk betting'?

Also, you mention a lead bet into the pre-flop raiser, but would you also
consider a person who suddenly takes the lead on the Turn, after he had
checked and called the Flop, as being a donk bettor? With some players this
is a golden opportunity to bluff them if you have nothing. I've always had
my pet term for this situation and it is one of my most important and
profitable traits to list in my notes.


I am no expert with words so i am going to draw several explanations from the respectable online urbandictionary.com which contains all the definitions to slangs. It even have the meaning to the famous Australian slang 'crikey!'. If you want to find out what it means, you can copy that word/slang and search it there.
The Slangs
From the urban dictionary;

  1. Donk
    A donk simply means a bad poker player.

  2. Donkaments
    Here i briefly sum it up; 'A donkament is a poker game/tournament mainly consisted of a large pool of unskilled players.

From there you can add something along the line like, donk fest, donkalicious, donkarama, and lately bodonkey (bodog donkament). Well mostly the tournaments were organised by bloggers and sometimes with a unique password that you can get a kick laughing at it. Since i started blogging not too long ago, might as well find out what bloggers mostly do.


Donkey Test
Donk

Moving right along, besides tournament there is also a test that you might need to take to gauge on your poker skills before you graduate. I just found this out recently. The test is offered by Donkeytest.com and it can assess your poker quotient similar to an IQ test.

However to fully take the test there is a fee which you will need to pay. To view a sample, you can check out pokertaswegian blog post. The result page where he posted is very detail and it is the first time i am seeing it myself. I might have to gather a few dollars to do it to find out mine or maybe NOT. I won't reveal it here if i do....
