Brack is Beautiful (Part 17), Tourneys are for donks

I RARELY play donkaments for a variety of reasons...

a) too much luck and gheyness required to win one

b) more often than not you will not cash/not final table and thus be kicking yourself for the 4 hours you played

c) cash games are a more reliable source of income and you have much more flexibility in your schedule.  

I'd say I play roughly 5 tourneys a month on average...but I can easily go a month or two without playing one at all.  Lately I have been targeting a superfish at some of the higher level SNG turbos and I've taken shots and cashed in 2 out of 3.  The only time I didn't cash was when I offered Bruechips a piece of my action, ROR.  Speaking of superfish, I sucked out on him with QJo vs AA all in prefrop when I got a bit short...SHIP IT.  It definitely propelled me to the chiplead and eventual win - see the final hand below...spades still rule for those of you who haven't figured it out yet!  (the ironic thing is i folded the exact same hand two hands prior to this one because it was NOT SPADES!).  ROR.
