If you are trying to realize your true results, you want to play as much as possible rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.
It's very easy to get unlucky in one tournament, but a lot harder to get unlucky in 10 tournaments.
Heh, piece of cake for me. I complain about runbad even though I cashed in the Wynn daily just last Thursday. Even then I didn't feel like I was running huge. I did flop 3 sets, but lost one of those hands. All the other hands were mediocre. No aces, no Kings I don't think. One pocket jacks which I quickly folded to a huge 3 bet and call in front of me. They both had pocket pairs bigger than Jacks, lol. Won a couple hands with 3rd or 4th pair when the hand basically checked down 4 ways.
As for cash games, I was just obliterated. One guy at the table had a boat and then quads in subsequent hands. That's the definition of rungood.
I can't remember when I last got dealt aces. Maybe sometime during the WSOP, maybe the Circuit event in the spring.
