The Story of the Weeping Camel.
Keith Hawkins writes of his dissatisfaction with his tournament results this year in his new blog titled
The Camel Ruminates
.

After pointing out that luck plays a big part in the short term, he goes on to say that he feels that his play in large tournaments has deteriorated in large part due to playing a lot on Pokerstars. He explains: "I am playing there far too regularly. I do very well in the heads up matches at $1000 and $500 levels. I win nearly 2 from 3 and have made very good money for the last few months."

Winning two out of three heads up comps at those levels implies a per tournament win rate of almost $333 and $166 respectively. But he wants to stop playing them in order to better at big tournaments, where as he always points out, there are many excellent players.

I'm baffled. Is he after money or recognition?
