In Response To: Error Rates (Jason Lee)

Depends on what your goal is... do you want a high winning percentage, or do you want to win tournaments? Isn't the ultimate goal to win tournaments? You could turn out a record like 14-3 in an ABT tournament and not cash. Do you think you were successful? I don't think you were.

In general, if you win more matches, you will eventually win more tournaments. Winning tournaments basically consists of stringing a bunch of match wins together which hearkens back to that short run/long run thing.

Of course there are some exceptions, for example, someone might get really nervous in the money rounds or finals and play much worse than he normally does...but on average if you are consistently going 14-3 that's probably a better indicator of skill than how many tournaments you won last year.
