That 70s ratio

This is the second time I've used this blog post title. Here's what I had to say the first time:

Last night, I only played one tournament, and failed to make the money. That's a failure, right? Actually, not necessarily. It would only be a failure if I failed to play well, and that wasn't the case. I've come up with a gold standard for measuring whether or not I played well. It's simply this: if my percentile was greater than my average percentile, I played well, whether or not I made the money. My average percentile is 65, and my percentile in last night's tournament was a squeak over 70.

The only thing I need to change to adapt the above excerpt to last night's session is the final sentence. My average percentile is now 64; my percentile in last night's tournament was a squeak over 71.
