Definition of Donkey
 

Um sorry to be so dim but what exactly does donkey mean and what is the difference between a donkey and a fish? Thanks

Nothing. Donkey is the new fish, you'll hear every 28/6/1 calling everyone a donkey at the 50NL tables.

I thought fish call when they shouldn't and donkeys bet when they shouldn't. But as someone else said, maybe they are the same.

I love this article.

I wish I could train my brain to forget the term donkey now.

A donkey is a maniac and a fish is a calling station.

Fish is a loose player who calls to much and think 2nd pairs are good for chase.
Donkey is a loose-agresive player who makes bad plays often.
Maniac is a player who bet hard with junk all the time.

This is correct. Fish are passive calling stations, donkeys also make stupid/weird plays (and call too much), and maniacs bet and raise with anything all the time.
