Entertainment value

Last night, I won my biggest pot of the night on hand 12. I hit a straight on the river, and raked in $39,800. If I were solely focused on growing my balance, I would have quit right then. The thing is, I play poker for several reasons, and an important one is to be entertained. It's just not entertaining to play twelve hands and quit. The hand which hurt the most was hand 59; I hit a queen high flush on the river, only to lose to a king high flush. I'm not pleased to have lost three sessions in a row, but I'm not discouraged either. I expect to turn things around tonight.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 105 hands and saw flop:
 - 13 out of 16 times while in big blind (81%)
 - 17 out of 17 times while in small blind (100%)
 - 47 out of 72 times in other positions (65%)
 - a total of 77 out of 105 (73%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 10 (50%)
 Pots won without showdown - 9

delta: $-24,450
balance: $4,605,602
