One and done

Poker provides many opportunities to feel humble, yet paradoxically can also provide you with so much success that it's hard to feel humble. Case in point: the one and done tournament. This is a tournament when you only win a single hand. This guarantees that you won't make the money, and should be a humbling experience. And yet, when you've played poker as long as I have, it's actually not. I had a one and done tournament last night, and got curious about how often this happens to me. Quite a lot, it turns out. Better than a 10% clip! When you've had so many one and done tournaments, you know they're no big deal. All that really matters is making a profit over time; if you are, any incidental losses are just that - incidental.
