The problem with saying "lol donkaments" at everything is that pretty soon your entire world is one big donkament and then ten years later you wake up with nothing because you never took anything seriously because who can take donkaments seriously.

This is why Barry was embarrassed at having to say "lol donkaments" on HSP and probably regretted it afterwards because he is not an "lol donkaments" kind of guy even if he does green leak to charity.

By god, it's like you totally know me.
Has it been ten years already? Where the donk did the time go?
My world IS one big donkament, and like this very morning, I did wake with nothing.

Is it really becuse I took nothing seriously?

Dang me, vanity, pride, and bitter donkness, dang me.

Maybe, just maybe, your piercing ray of truth can help to shatter this donkness that has enveloped me. From this day forward, I pledge to view the world and everything in it, as a serious tournament, made up of important choices.

When I spoke to Barry about the "lol donkaments" comment at the WSOP, he did not seem at all embarassed or to give any indication of regret. Quite to the contrary, he seemed very pleased at the outcome.

You are right that Barry is not an 'lol donkaments' kind of guy, but not for the reason you think, imo.

People always misjudge Barry because of his math PhD and his intelligent demeanor as someone who approaches gambling foremost as an intellectual exercise or a profit-maximizing problem.

Barry is actually more of a gambooler type than a math/game theory type. This extends to his view of tournament results, imo. He underrates variance and therefore is excessively generous to people who have some big tourney wins (which not coincidentally includes Barry himself).

Now don't get me wrong, I am not remotely slighting Barry's intellect. I am just saying that while he has the brain of a math whiz he has the soul of a gambler (unlike Chris Ferguson let's say), and that does color his attitude toward tournaments.

I would guess that Chris Ferugson, by contrast, is wholly on board with the 'lol donkaments' idea, even though from an ego point of view he has every reason not to be.

And just for the record my opinion, though it certainly might be wrong, is based mostly on firsthand impressions.
