Poker Donkeys
If you have been called a Donkey or Donk at an online poker table and you didn't know what it meant, then I can tell you that it was an insult.
Coming here to look up the meaning just shows that it was most likely accurate. Now, one of two things can happen. You can feel insulted, go away and continue on playing online poker the way you have been - OR - You can admit that you are a donkey (or at least you did something donkey-ish).
If you choose to admit that you are indeed a donk then that is a BIG step in the right direction.
If you have taken the first choice then you have most likely already left this site, but if you are still reading then we have got some great news for you: There is lots of help available.
Before we go any further I want you to say two things to yourself.
1. No one, not even the best poker player, was born a winning player.
2. Every online poker player was a newbie when they first started.
Say those two things to yourself. And say them again every day while you are playing online poker. Even when your donkey days have passed, remind yourself regularly of these basic truths. It will make you a nicer person if nothing else.
