Min three bullet win

As you know, I like to quote myself as often as I can :-) Here's what I had to say on February 9th:

Poker commentators often refer to buy ins as bullets. This is in the context of tournaments which have rebuys; "He's on his second bullet" refers to someone who hit the felt on his first buy in, and bought in again. The sit and gos I play on PokerStars don't have rebuys, but I like the bullet metaphor so much I'll appropriate it anyway. I tend to fire anywhere from three to six bullets a night. Last night, I fired five, and came out with the min win for five $45,000 bullets, or $20,000. One good sit and go rule of thumb is to quit whenever your profit hits the min win for the number of bullets you've fired. I don't always follow it, but wish I did :-)

On Saturday night, I fired three $85,000 bullets, and came out with the min win for that scenario, which is $31,500. However, I also fired two $8,500 KO bullets, and missed the money in both of those.
