After playing just seven "Hot 50K, 10M Chips GTD" tournaments, I realize I never want to play another. They're a losing proposition, plain and simple. The percentile required to make the money is exorbitant. I can stomach 72. I can even stomach 76. There's no way in hell I can stomach 80 and above.
This is an excerpt from my April 6 post. Just 24 days later, I'm forced to eat my words. Last night, I played another Hot 50K, and made the money. I have to remain true to my poker identity - I'm a tournament player, not a cash game player. Are my favorite tournaments still available on PokerStars? No. Do I still get enjoyment playing tournaments, even the ones which aren't my favorites? Yes. Can I still make a profit playing these suboptimal tournaments? I hope so :-)
