you cannot blame your losses on donks

I was playing a sit and go today and went down to 112 chips with 5 people left. I started going all in with any two cards. I doubled back up to 2900 chips with 4 left and was dealt my best hand of the game. Pocket kings utg I went all in and was called. The caller had pocket aces and neither hand hit. Every time you lose a hand you weren't donked. You may be a victim of circumstance. My favorite is being called by a big stack just because they have extra chips and they hit a hand to send you out. My second best is when I have the best hand going in and they catch 4 cards for st8t or flush.

Based on those circustances, it was very much gambling. You went all in being short-stacked with anything is fair enough and equally you'd get called by other players to knock you out. You got lucky and built up a decent stack.

KK vs. AA is always going catch anybody in fast paced SnG situations and not a bad play for you either as if you've hit with junk, you'd likely get a call with AQ, AK, AJ, A10 or any middle PP.

Being donked is more like you have AA, raise preflop. Get called by 22. All blanks on the board (and no draws), you bet big (even all-in), they call all way to the river and catch the 2.

Is that "being donked" or a bad read... it's standard procedure for alot of players to continue betting with AK, AQ, etc when they miss the flop. Just because someone raises preflop and bets the 863 flop doesn't mean they have an overpair.

My definition of being donked is when is when I get beat by strange circumstances. Like 4 flopped cards for a straight or flush or a smaller pocket pair beating a bigger one. Once in a great while will you see pocket aces and pocket kings in the same hand so it is odd. I don't play the odds or even care about them or pot odds. From experience and 90 percent of the time I am right I know what to suck for if I think I am behind in a hand and surely can look at a pot and see if there is enough money in the pot to go chasing. With this wild bluffing game we call Holdem and the lucky nature of same I don't think it pays that much to get that technical. This is a disclaimer.

Because I feel the way I do does not mean that how you view the same subject is wrong it's just different.
