    When you make calls or plays that seem strange but are really +EV how many times have you been called a donk because of this? I think its funny when people call you donks for plays that are just to smart for them. I would also like to know if any well known pros have been called donks in the past few months OR if they were called donks before they became well known.

    i got called one yesterday when i called a 100 dollar bet on the river with 89 on river when i hit my flush. i called a 10 dollar raise preflop and flopped a flush draw. check, check after flop. Original raiser bet 25 on turn and guy in front of me calls and i call. River shows Qs for my flush. Raiser bets50, maniac makes it 100 and i push for 123. Original raiser folds and maniac calls my 23 bux and calls me a donkey. i tell him a7 os aint that great either. I take down a 300 dollar pot.

    I never make +EV plays hence no one has ever called me a donkey. They love having me at the table and always comment on how unlucky I am. People even offer to run to the bar and get me drinks just so i won't get up and at some home games they even go to the buffet for me to get me food.

    If it wasn't for luck I would lose every hand.
