Staying power

Last night, I had another long session. I came out in the red, but didn't hit the felt. It's good practice to have long sessions now and then. Anytime you can play over a hundred hands and not hit the felt, you must be doing something halfway right :-)

As you know, as a rule I never quit a session if I'm on a roll. This precept can backfire sometimes, though; in last night's case, it did. I'd just won a pot worth $19,200 with a 9 high heart flush, then got dealt the 9 and 10 of spades the next hand. The jack of spades on the river gave me a jack high flush, but I lost the pot (worth $36,200) to an ace high uberflush. That dropped my stack below $40,000, and it stayed there.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 106 hands and saw flop:
- 20 out of 21 times while in big blind (95%)
- 19 out of 22 times while in small blind (86%)
- 56 out of 63 times in other positions (88%)
- a total of 95 out of 106 (89%)
Pots won at showdown - 12 of 24 (50%)
Pots won without showdown - 10
