The old one two

I've come up with a good rule of thumb for when to quit a tournament session; I'm calling it the old one two. Briefly stated, you should quit as soon as you've had one first place finish and one second place finish. If you've played six tournaments and still haven't made the money, you should quit at that point also. Last night, I hit the old one two in five tournaments, and lit out for the territories.
