how do they do it? They raise every hand. They have junk and they get lucky on the flop alsmost every hand. Are they houdini? Bingo is down the hall yet they do it and it gets so annoying. Yes i was one they got lucky with. How oh poker gods can you let them defile you so.

i'll just continue your post:

they are everywhere! they usually win with any hand... you can't beat them, they will outdraw you every time. AA is marginal hand against them..

but, who are "they" and why we call them "donkeys" !?

You must remember, Wheel, in every polytheistic pantheon there are just gods and unjust gods. Clearly, the donkeys have pledged their allegiance to the unjust gods of the poker pantheon.

How do i talk to these gods and do i have to bring a goat or something?

[Lytspeed]

I think that if you want to win the favor of the just gods, you must sacrifice your inner donkey, not a goat.

comone u must admit...when u bluff with nothing and u get a caller and u get runner runner u feel good..u must feel good..but rarely happens to me

[lucicanu]

It's called pure luck...most people say poker's not about luck (and i tend to believe that) but still it's a pretty important factor in the game...so don't be surprised if you play a hand perfectly and you lose ur money to dumb luck...it happens all the time

[BonusWeary]

Defile you so? They made you a game that goes straight over the heads of those people.

[wheeloftime]

amen. The poker gods need little recognition, yet when defiled they extract their own. The donkeys seem to be the worst the work just before the full moon. ever noticed that everywhere , crime hospitals, crimes and accidents always increase just before a full moon. i wonder if its related?

hmmmmmm...
poker is 60 perceny skill 40 percent luck. I pray every time i run across a donkey that even if they get me they get busted hard by someone else.
