Foundation hands

Last night, the success of my session was largely due to two hands. One came at about the midway point, and the other at the end. They each caused my stack to take a big jump up. You could call these types of hands foundation hands, since they form the foundation on which the success of the whole session rests. To have a winning session, you really don't need a lot of foundation hands; often enough, a single one will do. However, it's not sufficient to have the foundation hands; you must also make some good laydowns. That's a skill I'm getting better at (I think!).

On the first foundation hand, I won a pot worth $30,600 ($16,200 of it other people's money) with a queen high flush; on the second, I won a pot worth $17,400 ($12,000 of it other people's money) with three of a kind, aces.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 59 hands and saw flop:
