Do you have a donking range?
Wondering if anyone donks here ever? What that range would look like and under what circumstances. I don't ever really donk but I'm wondering if incorporating it into my game would up my winrate.

IMHO, donk betting is a good option sometimes. It's also a very rarely used tool in most people's toolboxes. I personally have a hard time using the flop donkbet as much as I should, and I am trying to use it more often going forward.
For example, I recently saw a crusher in my local player pool take a flop donkbet --> large turn bet --> very large river shove line in a really interesting spot.
5/5/10/20 with bounty: Reg opened 65 EP, Tilted reg fish flatted MP, tilted loose passive fish called in 1st 5, crusher called in the 10 with the bounty button, 20 folded.
4-ways Flop ($275): Th7x5h. Tilted loose passive fish checked. Crusher donked?!?!?! $200, EP PFR folds, MP called, SB folded.
Heads-up Turn ($675): Qx. Crusher bets $550. MP calls.
Heads-Up River ($1775): 5x. Crusher shoves 1.4k effective. MP tanks forever and then calls. Crusher shows KT offsuit and wins.
Sidenote: Crusher was drinking at the table and was in super LAG mode this session. And he had the bounty button, so he ended up collecting $25 from each other player at the table when he won this pot. So the meta game here is quite interesting.
Depends on villain(s) and board, really, but I do have one.
