A simple plan

I'm stealing the title of a 1998 movie for this blog post. As "A Simple Plan" made abundantly clear, nothing is as simple as it seems. It's hard to believe it's been almost 20 years since that movie came out. Here's my "simple plan" for making a profit at MTT NLHE:

Play at least 50 hands per tournament.

I've now played 486 MTT NLHE tournaments. Of those 486, 180 lasted 50 hands or more. Of those 180, I've made the money 162 times (90% of the time). Nothing succeeds like excess :-)
