Donk Bet

Donk bet is an unexpected or risky bet made by a player who was not the aggressor in the first place, usualy into a player who was the bet aggressor.

A typical situation for a donkbet is when a player calls a raise in the first round and then bets into the raiser in the next round.

Donkbets started to be dumb moves by inexperienced players but know can also be deceptive maneouvers made to trick an opponent since they are often viewed as weak play. They are also used as blockbets. This means that a small bet is made to keep the opponent from making a large one that could put us out of the hand.

This can also be called a bet out of nowhere.
