    My Own Brag

    This is not a big money, WSOP, kind of result, but I am very proud of some deep runs I have made recently. I have been playing the $5.50 KO tourneys on Fulltilt at 10:20 am and had the following results in the last week-
    Mon, 6/16 Finished 3rd out of 288 for $144
    Tues, 6/17 Finished 1st out of 259 for $269
    Wed, Thurs - Did not play
    Fri, 6/20 Finished 2nd out of 268 for $177
    Mon, 6/23 Finished 2nd out of 284 for $187
    I told my son that I was more proud of the "consistency" than anything else.

    That insanely good finishes...
    "You have it in your power to turn a bad-beat around simply by realizing this simple truth: The more bad beats you encounter, the luckier you are. It's a sign that you are playing against opponents who continually take the worst of it, and if you can't beat someone who always takes the worst of it, you can't beat anyone"

    Wow, very impressive results. Beating fields that large consistently is something to be very proud of, regardless of the amount you're winning or the buy-in.


    Any two cards...

    But take a look at your Return on Investment! That's what's really impressive!!

    Only Mr. Shultz experienced that kind of ROI out in the WSOP with his $257k earnings on a $1500 investment!

    Congratulations! It makes my little ol' 170% ROI look shabby.....

    We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like.
