Lightning in a bottle

After thinking about it, I realize that my ROI comparison from two posts ago was highly suspect. The only reason the MTT NLHE ROI was so high was due to a single outlier event. Remove the outlier, and the ROI plummets from above 90% to below nine tenths of one percent. How are the mighty fallen :-)

The thing is, MTT NLHE is all about outlier events; if you remove them, you remove the soul of MTT NLHE. MTT NLHE is all about lightning in a bottle; that time when you can do no wrong, and your stack rockets to the top :-)

I'm going to stick by my guns, and continue to play MTT NLHE for the remainder of the year. It's by far the most satisfying poker style/flavor combo I've ever encountered; I'm already looking forward to my next outlier event.
