So Donkey is a term just for sore losers to use ?
What would you call a moron that goes all in from the very first hand of a $5.50-9 person sit"n"go until he was out the 7th hand taking 2 out with him & chipping up another who was lucky enough to get the cards at the right time.
Hand-1 all folded
2-1 caller(A-10),the moron had 4-9off won with a 4
3-1 caller(K-J) Moron 10-7 off wins with two pair 10-7's
4-all fold
5-1 caller (A-A )moron Q-6,Aces held up
6-1 caller(A-A)moron K-K .Aces held up
Now please tell me, what do you want people to call moronic donks like him/her ?
And I'm not blowing up because he put me out I was the one who got lucky.

[quote=philjj;14241]valid points lilady, I didn't mean by playing tight aggressive that you only play premium cards

Thanks phil...just so ya know, the comment wasn't directed toward you Just figured since there were so many comments about "donkeys" that I'd shed some light on the unfortunate many who are deemed such.

Some people truly are ignorant and some actually use being a "donkey" to their advantage...intentionally tilting good players in order to make their profit. Unfortunately for the good players, this means almost having no alternative but to stoop to the "donkey's" level...

Something I like to tell my fellow poker buddies I play with frequently...

"Sometimes, the only way to beat a donk is to out-donk 'em"

Like 'OMG I HAVE AN ACE!!! ALLIN! ALLLIN!'

Yeah, I also agree, there are too much donkeys, but in freerolls you can expect that.
