Results matter. You need to produce results to watch your bankroll grow.

How important are getting winning results to you when you play poker?
 
The best players in the world are cashing a little over 20% of the time. What's truly important is maximizing opportunities. Putting yourself in a position to win is much more important than grinding out min cashes and praying for some luck. Don't hesitate to play big pots in the middle stages of tournaments.
 
@padrespatty I start getting frustrated after losing 3-4 bullets in the row. I try to hold myself above 20% ITM for tourneys.

I had a pretty good ITM on ACR with 1000+ games. Always play to win, never scared of big pots with the best hand.
 
I really care about making the best decision, not even for the short-term results because in the end I want my decision-making to lead to profit and increase my bankroll.
