Hmm, well, I do have a number of tags that aren't actually in the
“Key Articles” section on the left. I do have one for
tournaments. Actually, if you could simultaneously search for two
tags or once, the tags “online” and
“tournaments” together would probably yield all the posts
where I talk about online tournaments. However, I just realized that I
don't actually know how to get LiveJournal to do a union search of two
tags. Quite an oversight for the LiveJournal programmers if they failed
to provide that feature. I'll look into it and see; maybe someday I'll
even write a patch; after all, there's a reason why I use a GPL'd
journaling site.
I just did add a link on the left to “Other entry tags...”
so that you can quickly find all the tags from the journal.
Anyway, you asked specifically about my tournament results. I should
note that I don't usually make general “results” posts.
Once per year, at tax time when I add up the numbers, I post my annual
results, but other than that, I don't post results in a general way.
I just find the whole thing somewhat ho-hum. If the world never had
to look at another screenshot of someone's place in a tournament or
numbers from their PokerTracker database, honestly, I'd be quite
happy.
As for the implication from your statement, which I read as how can
you be sure you are a favorite over the field if you don't have a
lot of tournament results, that's a good point. My guess is
that most people who qualify for the freerolls are the same fools I
see dumping their money in the cash games day in and day out.
Indeed, I've been a little annoyed, now that I'm using Full Tilt so
extensively, that after the freerolls go up, it looks like all my
tracked fish are online but they are really just auto-registered for
the freeroll. So, while I'm generally not a very good tournament
player, it's all about relative skill, and I think my developed
cash-game skills and my basic tourney knowledge are pretty
transferable against this field.
Oh, and finally on the tagging issue, note that I haven't gone back and
tagged my entries from before LiveJournal had tags. You'll have to
use memories to see posts from there. Most of my memory categories
mirror my tag categories. I do plan to eventually go back and tag old
entries.
