Donk Bet

A leading bet made postflop and from out of position, usually small, that usually comes from the non-aggressor in the hand. E.g., in no-limit hold’em a player on the button raises and the big blind calls to create a pot of 1,500, then after the flop the big blind leads for 300. Generally an unorthodox move, the term refers to “donkeys” or poor players, although donk bets can have strategic value (e.g., to induce raises or as blocking bets).
