How to stay focused

[sloth469]

Or learn to stall in turbo tournaments.

After I posted this I made the final table in 2 of the next 4 I played and yet again failed to cash. However, I've started to get a better feel for how to play toward the end (and a few lucky suckouts and/or really bad play by opponents certainly helped) and I finally came through last night:

A huge weight off my shoulders as now I know I can do it if I stay focused - and I managed to do it for the entire tourney for once.
