Default Re: How often should a solid player finish in each position?

Ah.. okay. Well, I wouldn't say the stats are terrible or something. 6th is still one of my highest finishes for instance.

Sorry for bringing this up again, but I find a similar thing - 1-3 are the highest % finishes with 6th the next one. I think that this is indicative of tight play which (at least at the $11s ) will find you in 5th or 6th place usually in level 3 or 4 if you haven't had a hand yet. As the 7th and 8th place finishers flame out in the next couple of orbits this will become one of the short stacks and start to feel pressure from the blinds and I start to think about making a move. A 6th place finish is the chalk outline marking where an aggressive play was run down. If I can double up here I make it to top 3 way more then 4th or 5th ( some of my lowest % finishes). I suspect that a high 4th place % is the foot print for a different style of play, or at least a shifting of gears that I haven't found yet. YMMV.
