A donk bet is when you lead bet after someone else put in the last raise on the previous betting round that did not cap the betting. It's often a weird bet and is often done by poor "donkey" or just "donk" players, hence the donk bet. Sometimes it is the best move though as it is awkward and is an open challenge to the previous rounds aggressor to raise you, which is usually the desired result. Most good players dislike being donk bet as it is often hard to know what the best action is and it leaves you guessing much of the time.


The donk bet used to be called a "gay bet" but obviously that term is way un-PC and needed to be revamped and the donk bet was born.
