Message: [QUOTE="zinzir, post: 5483166, member: 406896"] There is plenty of frustration and criticism expressed on CC regarding donks, and I'm afraid that much of it comes from insufficient knowledge about the species. As a donk myself I would like to share with you some insight. Donk play, even though not as profitable as tight aggressive play, is superior to passive play of any kind, and has the advantage of being quite enjoyable and liberating. As a donk, knowing that you are making decisions that are questionable at best and downright reckless at the worst, you don't feel frustrated by a negative outcome, and appreciate a positive outcome to the fullest. There is no feeling of entitlement because you don't keep folding, waiting for that monster starting hand to finally trap someone. As a donk you receive less bad beats than you give, and even when you suffer a bad beat it only feels natural. True donks almost never berate their opponents after receiving bad beats, and that is not due to having superior manners, it's because donks truly experience less frustration. Here are some donk traits that are not only useful in poker, but also carry well in everyday life: Donks are optimistic, expecting a positive outcome even when the odds are stacked against them. Donks have thick skin and care less about what others think about them. Donks don't judge others, and don't feel the need to tell them what to do or what they should have done. Donks are resilient, they tend to recover after significant losses sometimes on sheer positive expectation. Donks are unafraid, even being surrounded by sharks will not deter the donk from executing his plan. So if you are a fellow donk yourself wear your accolade with pride, and for the other folks who never play in freerolls like a donk, you don't know what you're missing :) [/QUOTE]
