The MTT-R NLHE Mendoza line

The Mendoza Line is an expression in baseball in the United States, deriving from the name of shortstop Mario Mendoza, whose poor batting average is taken to define the threshold of incompetent hitting.

Applying this in a poker context, the MTT-R NLHE Mendoza line defines the threshold of incompetent tournament play. Specifically, it's when the number of bullets fired in a tournament exceeds the number of hands won. I achieved this in the first tournament I played last night, in which I fired four bullets but only won a single hand :-)
