It’s all one big session and small sample groups like one festival are as meaningless as any other small sample group. Truth be told, I try to pay as little attention as I can to short-term variance and results. It’s always nice to start a festival with a result As it happens, I ended up avoiding completely bricking the series with two min cashes in the Seniors and the last hyper side event, but heeding the advice Spike Milligan’s father gave him as a child (“never let a boring truth obscure a better fiction”) I didn’t bother changing the piece. That piece was written on the train to the last day of the festival. In my recent piece announcing The Monster poker competition, I made fun of my own lack of success at the recent Irish Open poker festival.
