I didn't mean to go to sea

When I was about ten or so, I devoured a series of children's books written by Arthur Ransome about the adventures of four young English siblings who loved to sail and who called themselves the Swallows and the Amazons. The title of one of the books was "We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea". Somehow the children ended up putting out to sea without really meaning to. Something very similar happened to me in last night's session. In the second tournament I entered, I ended up firing ten bullets without really meaning to :-)

Here are my holdings the five times I hit the felt in that tournament, followed by the number of players at showdown (including myself) and my percentage chance of winning the hand at the time I went all in:

hand 19: Qh Ac, 4, 25.20
hand 20: 9c 9d, 4, 32.76
hand 23: As 6c, 2,  6.82
hand 26: Jh Js, 4, 38.17
hand 44: 2c As, 4, 31.91

Firing ten bullets meant I spent half a million on a single tournament. Not very savvy.
