Donk bets?

[Viegaard]

Scenario:

Pre-Flop:

UTG1 open-raises 2.5BB.
MP 3-bets to 7.5BB.
UTG1 then calls.

If UTG1 now on the Flop raises OOP is this a donk bet in PT4 terms? Or is it only if the person that is not the initial aggressor on the previous streets raises OOP on the next street?

Yes, as I understand it the only requirement for making a donk bet is that the player was not the aggressor on the previous street, and bet before the aggressor from the previous street had a chance to act.

Cause I have people on a few Discords im at saying:

It cannot be a donk bet if it's the initial aggressor. So if Person A raises, and Person B 3-bets and then Person A only calls. If Person A now leads OOP it cannot be a donk bet, cause he was the initial (first aggressor) and some say its just a matter of who was the last aggressor on the previous street (the opposite player of that leading = donk)

The "aggressor" is the last aggressor from the previous street so any player who bets before the last aggressor from the previous street can bet themselves is donk betting.
