The 70-70 club

When you're on a massive downswing, as I now am, you look very hard for positives to focus on. Even though last night's session was a losing one, I found a positive attribute - the one tournament I played was a member of the 70-70 club. That's my shorthand for tournaments where I played at least 70 hands and had a percentile of at least 70. I stole this concept from baseball, which has its 40-40 club, which is composed of the players who had a season in which they hit at least 40 home runs and stole at least 40 bases. Baseball's 40-40 club is very exclusive; it currently contains only four members (José Canseco, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, and Alfonso Soriano). How exclusive is the 70-70 club? As it turns out, not very. Of the 550 MTT-R NLHEs I've played, fully 202 of them are members. However, when you're on a massive downswing, and are looking hard for positives to focus on, you can't afford to be too choosy :-)
