I just now at 10 pm PT checked my DFS results for the first time all night - pretty brutal. Of the eight $5 entries I played, I cashed in zero. My bankroll was at $955.60, now it's at $915.60.

I find it easier to shake off a total disaster than a near miss. There was no "might have been unless" by that you mean if I had started a different pitcher AND two different stacks.

It seems to me winning large-field tournaments is largely about imagination - what could happen even if it's unlikely and getting the proper payout for it. When you lose it's because none of the scenarios you concocted came to pass - at least not fully enough. It's a failure of imagination - that Trevor Bauer would roll or Anibal Sanchez would get destroyed. Those weren't that farfetched. I just went for the more obvious choices, and then my few oddballs were not the right ones. I still think the approach is sound and will keep at it for awhile until a better one occurs to me.

And maybe I'll ask my three-year old daughter for tips on honing the imagination faculty.
