The Curse is Broken

I hadn't cashed in an MTT in quite awhile. It had been a combination of poor play, bad luck and entering some stupid NL hold 'em tourneys with 5,000 people. I wasn't too concerned until I looked at my PokerDB stats and realized it had been 28 tournaments! Considering PokerStars pays 15-20% of entrants, it's pretty hard to go 0 for 28. During this stretch I remember bubbling twice - including finishing 55th when 54 got paid and 8th when 6 got paid.

I thought I might need to sacrifice two chickens and a goat, or even more dramatically, switch to full tilt - but luckily the curse was broken last night. I finished 17th in a $4 limit hold 'em tourney. 586 entered so I banked about $12 profit. I think I'm about to get on a roll.
