Three leaps

Having now written over 500 blog posts, I admit that sometimes it gets a little hard coming up with the title of a post. Of course, this is just another way of saying it's sometimes hard coming up with an angle. Once you have an angle, the title writes itself. Whenever I'm stuck, I have an old standby - I look at the bar chart of my stack size over the course of the session, and see what jumps out at me. What jumps out from last night's chart is three big upward leaps. It's possible to have a successful session with just one big upward leap, so to have three is really an embarrassment of riches. Let me delve into the archives...

big leap #1: on hand 39, I won a pot worth $21,184 ($11,192 of it o.p.m.) with a full house, threes full of deuces

big leap #2: on hand 43, I won a pot worth $28,400 ($14,600 of it o.p.m.) with two pair, kings and threes

big leap #3: on hand 113, I won a pot worth $39,600 ($22,000 of it o.p.m.) with a full house, queens full of fives

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 114 hands and saw flop:
- 20 out of 24 times while in big blind (83%)
- 20 out of 26 times while in small blind (76%)
- 46 out of 64 times in other positions (71%)
- a total of 86 out of 114 (75%)
Pots won at showdown - 15 of 19 (78%)
Pots won without showdown - 18

delta: $46,174
balance: $4,213,870
