While luck plays a role in poker, the skilled players still find ways to cash more than the amateurs who give it a shot.

We’ve hit the money. 821k.

In last 14 Mains, I’ve made deep day 3 nine times (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024), and cashed 4 of those.

I have never cashed for less than double the min cash.

Best 2 finishes were 88th (2010) and 128th (2019).”
I 100% would be a significant edge in those but I'm an unknown and happy with that. Thus it is harder to get backing outside of locals circle and I don't network. I hate LV. I kinda enjoy tournaments I guess. The higher ones have smarter people so the table talk is better but I never care enough to go play them.

I need to read a book on the meta aspects of tournament poker. I used to be pretty good at ICM (?) play in SNGs. Actually my sharkscope says I absolutely crushed them but that was the early days. If I fixed up that aspect of my game I'd be a great nlhe player. It is an interesting thought. An idea worth consideration for next year.

Todd has basically been around as long as me and played a ton. He's studied the game. He is clearly +EV and if you question that you're clueless in general. (Not saying this directly to boz)

I would love to know the breakdown by %s into recs and pros/expros by tournament.
