Donks are the parasites of the poker world.
Donks will call any bet, to chase any draw, with any two cards.
Donks have a psychological problem, a gambling addiction.
For Donks, the adrenaline rush of taking huge risks is better than sex.
You might think if you put a donk all-in, or literally put a gun to their head they might fold?
Nope.
That would only make it more of a thrill for them to "risk it all."
A few things you can do to beat donks:
1. Defuse their "thrill" reflex by keeping pots small and boring.
Resist the urge to bet big to "protect" your hand. That's like waving a red cape at a bull in a china shop. Don't worry about giving away "free cards." It's only a free card if he would have folded.
2. Have a deep bankroll.
If possible, get some big corporation to stake your buy-ins.
You may have to wear a hat or Tshirt with their logo, and maybe pose for some promotional photos, but you'll never have to worry about being out of the action just because of suck-outs.
The real threat from donks is that they win YOUR money, then lose it to someone ELSE while you're broke.
The goal is to still be there to capitalize when this piece of filth's luck finally runs out.
3. Don't play micro stakes.
That's any Vegas NLHE cash game with a Big Blind LESS than $10, or tournament with a buy-in less than $500. While you might find a donk in any game, micro stakes are absolutely infested with them; and you just may as well go play Roulette.

That damn poker donkey just couldn't take "fold" for an answer; and of course, he sucked out on the River.

When two participants are engaged in sexual activity in the position of canines, the male participant thrusts into the female participant and she kicks her leg back into the male participant's testicles. This results in the male participant crying out noises similar to a donkey (EEE-AWW!).

Swamp Donkey means a really ugly girl
Its a horrible looking woman who looks like a donkey and crawled from the swamp
