Futile century

It's very rare to last at least 100 hands in a tournament and have nothing to show for it. I call such an outcome a futile century. Last night, I had the third of my MTT-R NLHE career. On hand 84, I survived a fall in. On the final hand, I fell in again and wasn't so lucky.

Futile century, and saved by snowmen

I played two MTT-Rs last night, and each featured an extreme rarity. In the first one, I played 101 hands and failed to make the money, achieving the mythical futile century at last. In the second, I "fell in" on hand 47, but was rescued from hitting the rail by being dealt pocket eights which held up, meaning that I was saved by snowmen :-) It was another blue session to boot. All is right in my poker world.
