Hitting for the cycle

In baseball, hitting for the cycle is a rare feat, and a great achievement. That's when you hit a single, a double, a triple, and a home run all in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. In poker tournaments, hitting for the cycle is not as rare, and it's a mediocre achievement at best. It's when you come in first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth in a six tournament stretch, though not necessarily in that order. I hit for the cycle on Saturday night, and played two more tournaments after that, neither of which I won.
