donkerific bloggers need luv too
i decided to donk it up in the mOOk last night in preparation for BBTwo. i haven't been playing many Blogger tournaments on Full Tilt for the last coupla months and needed to refamiliarize myself with some of the regulars and get familiar with the playing style of some of the newcomers. i made it to the final two tables and pushed in with less than an avg stack from the cutoff after it was folded to me. got called in a coin flip situation and lost. meh
congrats to BuddyDoosh for takin it down
there's been alot o' bitchin' about the play in lower buy-in blogger tournaments and i've been guilty of it in the past. but, long ago i came to the realization that these are low buy-in tourneys with players donkin' it up with very little at stake. so, the calls and aggro plays to be seen can be donktacular with high regularity.
if you want to see less of this, start a weekly blogger tournament with a $50 straight buy-in. the field will be smaller no doubt. but, you'll see less donktastic plays. there'll be more money at stake and no cheap way to get in. even tho Don's game is a $75 buy-in, you can get in for as little as $8.70 (even less) laddering up through a tier 2 token sng. but, IMO there's less donkery in the Big Game because of the prize money at stake and I expect this week's play to be even tighter due to the TOC promo that Al and the guys have put together courtesy of Full Tilt.
btw, Great job putting that together fellas!
i'm already promoting a weekly Blogger tournament over at 
with T$600 added to the prize pool. so, I'm not interested in firing up another Blogger tournament at the moment. But, maybe one of the bitchers and moaners will. just a suggestion.

FYI I can't speak for Chad but the post you commented on on my blog, I was not bitching about the play of anyone else. I was merely stating that I made a bad play and that I need to consider my opponents' likely reaction before pushing in and expecting a fold. Chad's post is entirely different from mine, and in fact I think it is laughably ludicrous since I've won 10 blonkaments this year and therefore have found them to be very winnable and profitable to play in.
FWIW though I find the level of play in the Big Game definitely to be of the same level as I see in the weekly Mookie and RC events. Once we encourage the blogger masses to join even the $75 buyin Big Game, it's the same people so it's going to be the same quality of play in both.
IMO the play in this Sunday's Big Game will be tighter cuz there's more $$$ at stake and the chance at an Aussie Millions package is on the line. in fact, there's more on the line in every Blogger tournament during the next 8 weeks.
