Beating the Donkey!

I have been playing Poker for 30 plus years.....it's only been in the last few years I have seen so many "donkeys" playing the game. This really was a large issue when all the "donkeys" came out of the woodwork. I was playing No-Limit 2-4 on Pokerstars a few nights ago and was crunched hard for $500.00 on a pair of pocket Kings against Jack Queen off. Pre-Flop the bet was less than $25.00 for three players. The flop comes King, Ace, and some low card. I was second in line to bet with the "Donkey" checking. I placed a $100.00 bet with the other player dropping out and the "Donkey" calling. The turn comes out with a 8 of something.....again the "Donkey" checks and I bet All-In with just under $400.00....he calls. He connects with the 10 on the river and takes the pot. I was more disappointed with my play and was shaking my head wondering why anyone would call a bet like that. By the time "donkey" was done playing he lost well over $1500.00 because of his poor playing.....I regained my losses and a little more before retiring for the night. I guess its like the last time I played against "Donkeys".....they will soon lose and be back another day.
