either you are a good player, then you want those donks to hit here and there so they keep playin and spewing money, or you are a donk yourself complaining about that stuff...
Why use such derogatory terms at all? We all have plenty of leaks. To those players better than yourself, that identify these leaks, you appear to be the fish.
I would not berate anyone else without being sure that I myself could not reasonably be subject to such berating. Nor do I think that the act of calling someone a fish/donk, makes me exempt from that group.

Hard to tell if the original author of this thread was being serious or not but as this is a forum for the discussion of poker and other gambling I would hope he was trying to be be sarcastic/amusing. I don't think manuste6 is the only player to ever feel like they have been "unlucky" and I am sure there are plenty of mobsters around who will tell him that being called by 24 off when they go allin with AK is not "unlucky".

Posted by uno1Bomber: The donk is aggressive player, he can push all-in with a pair of aces, even if the board is scary. He doesn't care. The fish is a weak player. He's not aggressive. He limps in almost every pot and then he folds if someone bets and he's not connected to the board. The calling station is a non aggressive donk.
Right, uno1Bomber!
So, when a player calls someone an aggro fish, what does that mean?

I play extremely aggressive at times and usually lose to the calling stations...
I at times play like a fish too just trying to connect with anything, depending at the stakes and what is involved!
to each their own, call me a fish, a donk a pro....I dont care lol. I am either going to win against you or I am going to lose against you whether you are right or wrong about me!

and that is it? its just about cards? Was his chip count super low or super big? What was yours? What were previous Flops Turns Rivers etc etc etc...
I imagine he had 1.000.000 chips and u had 100.000 or even less Waited hard for AK and he just considered it would be lows on table this time since there were high cards previous games, or thought he will get lucky, or his birthday is 2.4. etc...
I doubt he risked tourney life with 2,4 since u were out afterwards, so prolly the chipstack differ alot.

Posted by Tony_MON7ANA: What's the difference between donk and fish?
...well the FIRST thing that came to mind after reading a few posts here is the eternal question asked by man since the dawn of time,...
What's the difference between 'meat' and fish...?
...and the answer to THAT little quandry is...:
If you beat your fish you'll kill it...! < heheeeeee.....
Donkeys are extremely intelligent and very strong willed creatures,...so I never really have understood how or why the word is used to describe bad poker players...
