Punctuated equilibrium

Looking at the bar chart of my stack size over the course of last night's session, it's got punctuated equilibrium written all over it. On virtually every hand, one of three things happened:

1. nothing
2. I won a significant amount of chips
3. I lost a significant amount of chips

I wrote these words more than six years ago, when I was still in my cash game NLHE phase, but they apply equally well to last night's MTT-R NLHE session. Punctuated equilibrium sessions are rare, but like all rare things, recur at regular, albeit widely-spaced, intervals :-)
