Well done. I can't believe you only have 4 10th place finishes. Impressive.

Are you serious???!! If so, I need to take you off my favorite poster list. Any tighter than tight player can have practically 0 10th place finishes. Please enlighten me as to how I misunderstood your post.... that must be it.... can't wait to eat crow...... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I'm not sure if I'm impressed with his play or impressed by this statistical anomally. Maybe impressed isn't the right word...I need to borrow Irie's vocabulary.

This might make an interesting discussion. What is the correct % of 10th place finishes?

From what I remember from the 10s, if you want to finish 10th, you are going to have a lot of competition. Surviving 2 hands is often enough to avoid 10th.

4/500 is impressive, but is probably too low if he keeps that same % in the 20s and 30s (I doubt he will). Being tight is not the goal. Winning $ is the goal.
