Chasing .400

The standard of excellence for hitting in baseball is to bat .400; that is, to get a hit 4 out of every 10 at-bats.  That number also turns out to be a good standard of excellence for making the money in poker tournaments. I've now played 80 MTT-Rs in my career, and have made the money in 29 of them, for a .3625 average. The last time I eclipsed .400 was when I was 19 for 47, for .4043; I'm hoping I can eclipse it again some day.
