Bluffing vs Donking

[punteluite]

never give all-in at final table?rightt

[blufalotbob]

A donk to me is someone that calls any raise/shove or chases crazy hands like hoping to hit an ace. Bluffing is done with the intention to win the pot with nothing. I see a big difference.

This is the best definition I've ever heard

I think there are a couple of good answers here but i failed when i tried multi message quoting LOL

Definately a lot of good answers. Biggest thing for me is timing. Donks don't have timing. They just do it to do it.

I see a great difference with bluffing and donking. Usually when you're donking, you chase mad draws without knowing the pot odds. As for a bluffer, he has a pretty good read on what the other person has. He's thinking that MAYBE he can get the other guy off his mid pair, pocket pair, etc... Bluffers know when to hit the "fold button".

Donks are just playing, Bluffers are playing the player.

is a thin limit between them i would say

[UrsuuL]

a donk will call you whit nothing in hand or a bad hand... a bluffer will try to raise you.. to make you fold whit nothing in hand

[tommy62278]

youre not bluffing if you call a bet with nothing

bluffers are aware of their situation. they know how to play their position, factoring in players left, styles , stack size,pot odds and timing.
donks take the atc (any two cards) theory and blow it out of proportion. They often show signs of unnatural betting and playing. they tend to rush the game. going all in several times withinin minutes with notihing. anyway whatever
