how can you MISS donkaments?! i dont see how people can have the patience to play hundreds of them and not have a decent cash in any (even the best players)

[thac]

It's just more fun than playing for 4 hours of 6-max where hardly any of the variables change (Only the players). There's a beginning/middle/end game to MTTs and I love the transition between them and trying to accumulate as many chips as possible.

I really really hate 6-max (probably only because I'm down 10 buyins the last couple days)

yeah i agree, if you get far in donkaments it gets really exciting and all. To have a big load of cashing waiting for you at the end, and if you risk that all by putting your stack in with a bluff and all.

You dont have that with cashgames.

Yeah, the variance just KILLS me. It's bad even in 180man or 45man DonknGoes, but it's brutal in big field MTTs. And every time some idiot hits his 3 outer to knock me out of one, I know it could be a long time before I ever make it that deep again.


edit: I know 30 or more tourney streaks without a cash are pretty common, but I've gone 12 45man SNGs without making the money and it makes me want to kill a kitten.

Yeah I love this too.. knowing that the donks are scared shitless at 4 and 5 figure numbers, coming to a new table of shortstacks, raising 5-6 hands an orbit cause you know they're just gonna blind out. Everything about it is so much better than raise, get 3-bet, fold.. raise, c-bet, double barrel, fold and reload. Dhfaslfsdlggljkashdglaj g6-max tilts me.

I c/c river a lot but it's okay I think. Being aggro on 3-flush boards won't get you much from hands you beat.
