Dear David, I am a big fan of yours along with plenty other super-star pros (too many to list). I have been playing for almost a year now and playing my best poker yet. I have 2 questions. Let's say someone bought into 20 tournaments, how many cash finishes out of that number would you consider doing well? Also, what is the usual ratio for you?
-Terry Evans

Terry,
The number of cashes is not what I aim for. My style, and the style of many other top tournament poker pros, is "go big or go home". I take a lot more chances and try and win the tournament instead of hang around and try and cash. I don't have very many cashes, but when I do cash, it's big. So my ratio is low, but my payouts are high.
