I think the term donk, lead is when you flat call OOP and bet lead into the raiser! Is how they decrive it the HUDs ect.

I guess it is situtational but i do see it sooooo often!!

Yeh I agree I am sseing it a bit at Stars, but sometimes I lead out and it hasn"t been unprofitable to me so far, I particularly target min stacks with this as they dont like to get it in unless they hit.

I suppose I still have a lot to learn

Mikeyboy9361:
Yeah confusing as you tend to think a Donk is a bad play or player, but the phrase Donk lead or Donking into someone, seems to be "de rigeur" at the moment.

WYoung83:
 I can remember Gus hansen in his aussie millions book doing this "donk lead" on a few occasions.
He goes on to say somthing like there is a unwritten rule that people always check to the raiser, but he likes to break the rules or somthing along those lines i think.

I highly doubt this move is + ev because you are just building up a pot oop with no clue what you opponent has. And if he has AK then i dont think he will fold to be honest.

THEGUY84:
Dont get  me wrong I think there is defo a time and a place for it! But I have found it to be exploitable in these mirco stakes cash games.
