The poker donkey has replaced the poker fish. In the olden days of poker (before
1999) the bad players were called fish. Now a days they are called a donkey.
A poker donkey is a bad
player, or is he? A poker donkey is a gambler. Not just any old gambler though. The poker donkey will hit their gut shot straight,
seven high flush, and miracle
full-house after a fourth
street flush. The poker donkey is a terrible gambler. The poker donkey will gamble with incorrect odds and hit their miracle card.
A poker donkey does not know any better. Donkeys like to
play and they will get paid at your expense. You can expect to find a poker donkey at the lower limits of poker. Usually they will go on good runs of cards. The donkey will run so good that they will be mistaken that they are actually good at poker and berate other players to their fine playing skills.
But, like all donkeys they finally end up on the rail watching other donkeys
play. The poker donkey will often be mad and sulk and blame the cards for the absolute terrible run of bad fortune. It is only then that the poker donkey will dig
deep to gain knowledge of the
game.
Whether you are playing poker online, playing a live poker tournament or playing poker in a casino watch out. There just
may be a poker donkey sitting next to you.
