Re: My results after my first 500 $11s
Well done. I can't believe you only have 4 10th place finishes. Impressive.
As for your last 300 SnG, don't sweat it. You are trying to get better. It's kind of like golf lessons. Usually your score gets worse while you try to improve your swing. However, once it clicks, you will be a better player. 1 step backwards, 2 steps forward. I'm a big fan of moving up when your bankroll allows, not waiting for some arbitrary sample size or ROI. Good luck in the next 500 and the 20s.

Thus it doesn't seem that 4 10th place finishes means that one is playing well, i.e., impressive.

Re: My results after my first 500 $11s
but it does mean you haven't been sucked out on very many times in that situation, which is impressive in and of itself...

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.

It's gotten me in trouble twice now on the boards. You're right, it should be possible to figure out an optimal # of 10th place finishes. I'd do it.... but I majored in English, not Math.

Finishing in tenth
It's only April 5th. I've played 148 $33s. I have 3 10th place finishes so far. Am I a fish?
