As easy as 123

I can safely say that for me, no poker activity is as easeful as playing 8-game sit and go tournaments. Due to the fact that the blinds don't escalate rapidly, and that there are so many poker flavors involved, the tournaments tend to last a long time. In the 25 I've played so far, my average number of hands played is a whopping 123.76. I haven't calculated it yet, but I'm sure my average playing time is over an hour. It's hard to panic when you know you're basically going to be sitting playing poker for over an hour :-)
