The word DONK?!

[LombardiStix]

I just wanna say I'm so sick of hearing people use the word donk. First of all you're sittin at the 2.20 beginner buy in and someone is playin loose? big surprise!!! Get over yourself Donk sayers, get over yourself. When you get on TV and play for big money with the real pressure and the real stakes you can talk down to people and lose your money there. Otherwise keep your BS and your ego to yourself THANKS!

I'm just tired of people whining at the tables in general. Bad beats happen. Deal with them. If you have to vent take it to a bad beat forum and keep it off the table.

There should be no whining in poker.

I got one to add to this i to get tired of the name calling DONK, RIVER RAT, TROLL, ECT....
and on other thing when you take a bad beat alot of the time the person who hands dowm this bad beat will say SORRY when they know they are not no one ever is when they win chip WHY SAY IT!!!!!!

THERE ARE NO SORRYS IN POKER JUST POKER!!!

The "sorry" comment I disagree with. If I'm in an all in hand and let's say I have A(d) K(c) and the hand I'm up against is KK. Well when 4 clubs come up and I win by having the K of clubs and never hit my ace, that's a suckout and I hate to win by a suck out. I say I'm sorry and I mean it. I want to win by skill, not a suckout. So I do believe that when some people say sorry, they mean it because I know I do. There are times when people say it and are laughing at the other end, I'm sure... but that doesn't mean that everyone doesn't mean it.

The name calling at the table however annoying it may be, it's not going to stop. There are too many immature players out there that don't know how to take a beating. If you can't take it, you shouldn't play... but I know from experience that frustration and anger are bound to happen in poker. It's just how we handle it that makes the difference. You don't see the pro's at the tables saying shit like that to each other... no matter how bad the beat was, they still shake hands. In online poker, you don't have to look someone in the eyes and say it, so it happens waaaaayyyy too often. I don't let it bother me, I find that when you let it get to you it just affects your game in a negitive way. Try to calm down and no that they play at a lower personal level then you do and you won't stoop to their level. Basically, just let them make an ass out of themselves, because you know that everyone is thinking the same thing you are.

Hope this helps,

i agree with everything but ill take it a step further. people say they dont like whiners, but then turn around and cry like a baby bc someone called them donk or whatever. it works both ways. i think chat in general is the most pointless thing about online poker. i usually keep the window closed(if i have the option) bc all it is is people whining back and forth. so rather your one of the many pros who seem to frequent the low limit tables and even free rolls lolol or just a simple donk( witch might include me lol) just shut the hell up!!!!! the table is no place for a penis swinging contest thats what forums are for!!!

I dont really know what a donk is. But a good poker player if beaten by a donk wont rant at a table and start name calling. I had so may suck out and bad beats by bad calls and I dont go ballistic like others that I have seen. I even make bad calls and try to steal and get away with it, does that make me a donk? If so, then beware !!!

I'm sorry, but just because some "donks" play more regularly in freerolls doesn't make it right! I will give you early on in the tournaments, but if I see a "donk" chasing a runner runner flush after the first break I'm gonna be pissed! I am not allowed by my wife to put in our money. No not because I lose, but because of how long it took for me to get my money back from stupid ass Neteller. Most you probably don't know about that, you probably weren't playing back then.

I will get irritated at anyone that plays like an idiot at any table. I'm trying to better myself whether it be a freeroll or $10,000 buy in. I don't use the word "donk", but I've definitely called them other names!

Keep the shitty play amongst you friends, and stay the hell away from ME!!!
