Donkey Kicked
If a donkey is a poker player who has little to no will to play the game of poker by the odds or by the books, getting ‘donkey kicked’ happens when that player, by the fickle nature of the poker en ligne gods, lucks his way into winning a pot when he’d been a big underdog all along. Getting donkey kicked for all the money hurts like few other things. You get all your chips that you’ve been working to accumulate throughout a session, and end up nailing this weak player to the wall with three outs to come, only to see him hit it on the river. The donkey, by his nature, is often quick to celebrate his great graces, letting you know that poker isn’t about math or skill, it’s about heart. Usually these players are just as quick to give those chips right back (perhaps not to you, but to the table), but still feeling the brunt of that donkey kick when it comes can be hard to get over. Knowing, though, that you made the right decision for the poker hand, got it in with way the best, and most of the time would have taken home the cake, hopefully will be enough to keep you in there, and as odds balance out, in the long run, give you the donkey’s money tenfold.
