Onefer

Clearly, an ofer is a bad thing and an allfer is a good thing. What about the fers in between, though? It all depends on how many tournaments you play. Last night, I had a onefer. I made the money in the first tournament I played. If I'd quit at that point, I would have made a tidy little profit. However, I decided to play a second. I failed to make the money in that one. If I'd quit at that point, I would have had a small loss on the night. However, I decided to play a third. Even though I didn't make the money in that one either, I'm glad I played it, since I set a personal best of sorts. I played the most hands I've ever played in a tournament where I hit the rail before the late registration period ended - 56. A dubious distinction, but still a distinction :-)
