A sit and go magic number

I always like to come up with new magic numbers in poker. In the beginning, they all had to do with cash games, since that was all I played. Later, I started adding sit and go magic numbers. Looking over the stats from last night's session, I've come up with a new sit and go magic number. Drumroll, please ...

It's 75. As in 75 hands. If you can get to hand 75 in a sit and go, you have an excellent chance of making the money. Here are my place counts for sit and gos of 75 hands or more:

place    count(*)
1           36
2           42
3            8

Of course, the only way to get to 75 hands is by playing good poker. There's no shortcut :-)
