I don't understand the LOL Donkuments reference

[BulletsBlitz]

I first heard this when The Bear (Barry Greenstein)said it on HSP, he got a lot of laughs from sbrugby. That was a few months ago. I google the term and found many references but no definition or meaningful context.
I deduce that its the combo of either donkey + documents or donkey + tournaments.

This bugs me every time i see it in a post. Please Help. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

donkAments, its just DONKey + tournAMENTS

AJ or Gabe mispronounced it as doncuments or something close to that.

loldonkaments =

"laugh out loud donkey tournaments"

Low entry fee or freeroll tournaments, usually on-line, with shallow starting stacks and rapidly increasing blind and ante levels.

As a result, there is a lot of preflop all-ins in early rounds as people try to double and triple up, or go broke quickly so they can play another one or do something more interesting.

While skill helps players at various points in the tournament, it's generally luck that dominates who advances and who busts out.

this is wrong, jesus, this section should be named "noob questions" all tournaments are donkaments, and any tournament no matter what buy in or level timing is called a donkament.

Agreed, any tournament to a cash game specialist is a "donkament" because they can't make the proper adjustment and usually bust out well before the final table.

Somebody made a post in NVG called "WSOP ME is not a donkament." One of the first replies was "LOL donkaments." Later, the same OP posted a thread that had nothing to do with tournaments, and to kind of make fun of him, someone posted "LOL donkaments" as a reply. It may be that this phrase will keep popping up--it may have originated before the thread I mentioned above--it seems to be becoming an -ism.

thanks everyone.

it was confusing because the first place i heard it was on GSN, not a tournament.

Grunch - OP, think you should cross post this in BBV, may get the most fully rounded answers there.
