Stations along the line

I've often likened playing a poker tournament to riding on a train. You never know when you're going to be thrown off the train, but there are stations along the line you hope to reach before that happens. The first station is outlasting the late registration period. If you can achieve that, typically you will have outlasted about a third of the field. The next station is outlasting at least half of the field. The next station after that is making the money; that means you will have outlasted at least seventy percent of the field. The penultimate station is getting to the final table, aka getting under the lights; that means you will have outlasted at least ninety percent of the field. Of course, the final station is winning the tournament. Last night, I reached the second station. All things considered, not that bad a result.
