Or is this seriously a crusade to control pop-culture language usage based on your own insecurities? Seriously?

If I would I could. But I can't because Urban Dictionary got in that space first.

My point is not that people should stop using "donkament".

My point is that the pattern of discounting the results of a tournament because it is supposedly a "donkament" is misguided.

As I pointed out above, there is a specific player style of "purposeful lunacy" deployed in the early levels which looks very much like donk play. It would be a wrong strategy in a tournament with very few donks, but it can be right in a "donkament". And probably there are tighter skillful players who look to take advantage of those skillful players gambling it up early. So, who's the donk ?

If you really think the WSOP ME or the Stars Sunday Million or the FTOPS ME are just like a $8.80, fine, call them all "donkaments". But if you don't think that way, then please make the distinction.

OP, Do you you really think the last 2 ME winners even have average poker skill? I'm being serious.
