#note Wow. 23-4. That was a ridiculous weekend.

I'm not really sure what made this tournament any different. I didn't feel like I was bagging my opponents every game and I didn't feel like I was playing a much better game than in recent months. I did draw 10/12 blanks in the early bird, but my blank drawing for the main event (I drew 20/42) and my Quackle analyses seem to confirm that I'm not getting ridiculously lucky all the time and I'm still making lots of mistakes. I think the best explanation would be that my consistent studying (especially the 3 to make 4s and the 4 to make 5s, which I have gone through many times by now) plus some luck gave me some of the breaks I needed against the stronger players, while my more severe mistakes went mostly unpunished against the rest of the field. Hopefully I can keep this up coming into Buffalo and Niagara,
