Default \"Donkament\", What does it mean?

Does it mean betting (donking) into a preflop raiser?

How do you have over 300 posts w/o picking up this? Combine Donk and Tournament, and out pops the redheaded stepchild that is a donkament. They are made artificially harder due to having no idea what the [censored] your opponents are playing, as they could be playing anything, because they're donks.

Originally: any low buy-in MTT, where a large portion of the field is typically comprised of pretty dang bad players. And yes, they can drive you crazy because it's often impossible to put them on a hand when they push on the flop.

Today: Any MTT. Between satellite tourneys, rich donks, and donks that hit their one big score & now think they can clean up the 100s, there's going to be a donkarific population in nearly every field.

Common usage: "lol donkaments" Generally uttered after the guy who came over the top of a raise & reraise with A7 offsuit catches trip sevens against AA and KK.

Second level usage: "lol donkaments" Uttered in a cash game when an opponent calls off all but 1 chip in his stack chasing a gutshot draw, then hits on the river.

Third level usage: "lol donkaments" Shouted in the Capitol Building during a Congressional hearing.

Fourth Level Usage - By Barry Greenstein, on Game Show Network's High Stakes Hold'em, after winning a big hand.

I'm rooting for a 2+2'er to take the final table in this years WSOP ME, just so he can look at the camera and say "LOL, Donkaments!"
