Well, I honestly can't say today was a success. I played in 10 6/45s today, and I only managed to cash in one today, good enough for a 5th place. I final tabled 3 or 4 more of these, only to go out in 8th or 9th place. There's nothing more frustrating than getting to the final table looking to score, only to get shut out. But with the way I choose to play these tournies, I'm going to have a lot more bubbles than most, but when I do cash, it's going to usually be big.
In fact, I played around with Excel today and came up with a few percentages that were very interesting:
| ROI | 233.48% |
| ITM % | 29.41% |
| Top 3 % | 17.65% |
| Win % | 11.76% |
| Win-ITM% | 40.00% |
Obviously most of you know what these all mean, but just in case, it wouldn't hurt to go over it. ROI is basically how much I am getting back for what I invest in the tournament (ie. total winnings divided by total buy-ins). ITM% is the percentage of the time I've made it in the money when entering these tournies. Top 3 % is how many times I make the top 3 spots in the tourney when I enter. Win % is how many times I win in the tourney when I enter. And Win-ITM% is the percentage of the time I've won the entire tourney when I make it into the money.
Now, of course, this is a sample size of 17, so it's nothing to write home about as fact, but I'm willing to bet that these stats are fairly representative of my play. I don't make it into the money all THAT often, but when I do, I take the tournament down a good percentage of the time.
Anyways, I didn't feel like I was playing or running particularly well today. I made a couple of questionable plays that I probably shouldn't have, and I ran terribly.
I had this one tournament today where I swear to God, like 90% of the hands I saw from beginning to end had at LEAST 2 people all-in (well, I guess I mean an all-in and a call). It was the absolute craziest table I had ever experienced in my short poker career, and that includes most rebuys.
In fact, if you don't believe me, I uploaded the HH to PXF (don't worry, the link is public, so you don't have to sign up for it to view it):

Just trust me.
Anyways, I ended my day at about 7. I took a little too much time off in between games, but I'm proud of the fact that I actually kept at it despite my piss-poor day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Variance happens.
I left my laptop on last night while I slept so that I could finish downloading Dexter (don't get Showtime, but I HAVE to see Dexter asap...his sponsor is hooottttt), and I was pretty worried that it would overheat or something. I have used a desktop for as long as I can remember, and I pretty literally didn't turn my desktop off since I got it in the summer of 2003 (only when I absolutely had to), and it worked perfectly fine up until I moved into this new apartment, and now suddenly the monitor no longer works.
But, do any of you have any suggestions in relation to my laptop? Is it kosher to leave it running like that, or is turning it off and giving it a rest mandatory?
Ok, I think I talked about everything. Later.
PS. GO SOX!!!!!!! SUCK IT NEW YORK!
