In all the other forums people look down on "donkaments". I have been doing pretty well playing them, I guess because they are so soft.

Playing tournaments may lead to a more aggressive style. You get used to reraising allin with suited connectors, Kxs, broadway cards, and small pairs late in tournaments. This is different from people with a limit holdem grinder backgoround, who have learned to just play medium and big pps and big aces and raise them preflop and thn bet every street.

I used to play SNGs almost exclusively so I have been subject to the "heckling" as well.

But if we're calling a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] cash games are much more difficult to play well.

I don't think you should be offended because you play both and succeed in both.

By the way, do you have a backer? The reason I'm asking is because the tournaments you play seem to be quite bigger (relatively) to the cash games you play.

Cash games require deep money play, but tournaments involve a lot of different situations and table conditions.

No backer for tournaments. Just keep winning so move up in buyins. 10-tabling $100 NL isn't that low stakes. A lot of tournament players play cash games at a level they have the bankroll for rahter than a level they know they can beat.

There was a hand similar to the one you described that we were involved in and I laid AK down to you. Hope it wasn't that big of a mistake!

Incidently, I shouldn't advise you on how to play against me, but the way I was raising and the way you were reraising me, I would push with AK to a 4-bet.

I stopped 4 betting at FR since you ONLY get action by AA/KK. Has worked fairly well. You actually get some action out of JJ-QQ when an you both have overpairs. If an A doesn't fall you're still probably getting stacked by AA though.

No one ever 4bets in my experience anymore. I only 4bet JJ and QQ against most opponents. This might be a leak.
