Yet another personal borscht

It's a given that the highest percentile you can achieve in a tournament where you failed to make the money is when you bubble the tournament. However, it's not a given that your highest career percentile in tournaments where you failed to make the money will come from a tournament you bubbled. Case in point: the MTT-B NLHE I played last night. It paid 45 places, and I came in 48th. I bubbled the bubble of the bubble, in other words :-) Despite not bubbling, though, I registered my highest career percentile in an MTT-B NLHE where I failed to make the money, clocking in at 78.18. Yet another personal borscht :-)

Yet another personal borscht

There were a lot of similarities between last night's session and the one before it; let me enumerate them:

1. I double-tabled for most of the session
2. I played 4 tournaments
3. I failed to make it out of the late registration period in one of them
4. I missed the money in the first three, but made the money in the final one

There was one major difference: the money I won in the final tournament didn't cover the sum of the buy ins. In fact, that money didn't even cover the buy in for that tournament. What made that tournament qualify as another personal borscht? The fact that the winnings covered a smaller percentage of the buy in than ever before - just 51.4%.

Yet another personal borscht

Last night, I achieved yet another personal borscht. I had the lowest percentile ever for an MTT-R NLHE where I lasted at least 50 hands. I only hit the 25th percentile; pretty pitiful :-) The good news, such as there is, is that for the last six sessions, I've only fired two bullets per session. That's keeping the losses at a manageable level.
