Worst baker's dozen

Last night, I entered three tournaments, and failed to make the money in any of them. Adding these three to the last ten tournaments I'd entered before last night makes a baker's dozen of near perfect futility - in those thirteen tournaments, I only managed one money finish, a second place. I ran the numbers and discovered that this set a personal worst for thirteen consecutive tournaments.

I'm no dummy; it's clear I need to take a break from tournament poker for a while. I'm in a major downswing. Accordingly, tonight and for the foreseeable future, I'm going to go back to playing no limit hold'em cash games.
