In Poker the term Donkey or Donk has become the modern poker term for fish. A Donk is a poker player who will play with the worse cards and then somehow manage to have you beat by the the river. It’s not easy to beat these kinds of players because in general they are gamblers who don’t use poker skills to win, donks are willing to take a chance with any two hole cards regardless of their value or poker hand ranking.
