(Don't Go Back To) Showdown

The title of this post riffs on "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville", an R.E.M. song I like.

This is an excerpt from my February 18, 2013 post. Those were the days when I was playing cash games exclusively. Deciding whether to go to showdown in a tournament is quite different from deciding in a cash game. I've found that you can do quite well in tournaments going to showdown only sparingly. Yesterday, in the one tournament I played, at one point I'd only gone to showdown once (losing that pot), but had won five pots without going to showdown. I'm pretty sure that at the time the money bubble burst, I hadn't won a single pot at showdown.
