Donk betting in poker is the act of making a bet from out of position on the flop against the player who has taken the aggressive action pre-flop. This means that the player who makes the donk bet is not the one who initiated the betting action pre-flop.

The term "donk" in "donk bet" was originally used to describe unskilled or inexperienced poker players, as such a move was seen as unorthodox and incorrect. However, the "donk bet" is now accepted as a legitimate strategy in certain situations, such as when the out of position player has a range advantage or the aggressor has missed the flop entirely.

In summary, a donk bet is a post-flop bet made by a player who did not initiate the betting action pre-flop and is done out of position.
