Good question.

I've only been playing Texas Holdem a few years but early on, I'd see this term.  Same with 'Degen'.

I've seen it used negatively - 'You DONK'

And I've seen it used as to self accountability neutral 'I donked out of the tourney early'

So, it seems to have a wide range of use.   I've never really used it  - short of writing these comments about it.

Degen however is a strange one,  on one hand, it seems it should be negative but I've seen people refer to 'degen' as 'degens like me play at CasinoX often'

As to Donk though, I think it makes sense to say as to one HAND or one DECISION - that it could be a DONK decision.

But to collectively call someone a donk?  to limit their potential? and cheat them OF that potential to grow? and to learn?  I think is too dark for my tastes.

'Your such a donk'  etc.

FINAL ANSWER after writing that out?  heh

I'd say a donk is a player that has high confidence?  by low competence.

Now that invites - what is the anti-thesis of that?  Because I have high competence but low confidence  !  heh
