Not bad. I obviously knew the meaning of all of them, although some of them I don't understand exactly like that, for example.

Donkey - someone who's not very good in playing poker is referred to as a donkey.

As the name suggests, a donkey is someone who plays like an ass, and who can often get on the nerves of those of us regulars who have some emotional control. An example could be someone who you are already seeing that he has no idea, you raise to 6BB with a premium, he pays with garbage, you pot bet on the flop, he pays you with nothing (let's say he has 8Qo and the flop is A92r), you bet on the turn and he raises because he gets a gutshot (let's say he gets a J), and when on the river he completes the straight he checks behind.

One or two hands like that are funny, but seeing him play like a retard while you keep getting fleeced by him for a while sometimes gets on your nerves.
