Caboose boy

For me, the most satisfying tournaments are not the ones where I crush opponents. Rather, they're the ones where opponents are crushing me, but somehow, improbably, I survive. Last night, I played just such a tournament.

This is an excerpt from my January 15 post. It applies equally well to last night's session. One thing I forgot to mention before is that there are some caboose boy tournaments where I not only have a strong presentiment I'm going to make the money, I'm convinced I'm going to make it under the lights. When that comes to pass, as it did last night, it doesn't feel improbable at all; in fact, it feels inevitable :-)
