donk bet

To place a bet in first position on the river in texas holdem with little or no value to be gained. This play is used as a bluff and a scare tatic, most likely resulting in additional bets gained at a latter time.
I had missed a draw and I led out on the river knowing I could not win this was a donk bet.
