Largest ever one hand loss

Last night, I had a great session, even though I ended up hitting the felt. A cooler did me in. I had the distinction of setting the record for my largest ever one hand loss - a whopping $102,200 - on the last hand of the night. The thing is, I don't feel bad about losing this money, since I played the hand exactly the way I wanted to. In one of the poker books I've read, the philosophy is put forth that there are just some hands which you're destined to lose, since you won't be able to stop yourself from backing them all the way down the line. The idea is that this is perfectly fine, since you should be able to back strong hands this strongly. I agree!

Here's how the cooler went down:

Table 'Adorea IV' 9-max (Play Money) Seat #1 is the button

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 209500 | Rake 0
Board [Jc As 6h Ks 5h]
Seat 1: Seat 1 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: Seat 2 (small blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 3: Seat 3 (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 4: Seat 4 showed [Ad Ac] and won (209500) with three of a kind, Aces
Seat 5: Seat 5 folded on the Flop
Seat 6: neostreet showed [Ah Jd] and lost with two pair, Aces and Jacks
Seat 7: Seat 7 folded on the Flop
Seat 9: Seat 9 492 folded on the Flop

With the combination of my hole cards and the flop, I was a 94.21% favorite to win the hand against any unknown holding. However, against the specific holding of my opponent, I  had only 1 chance in 990 of winning; the only way I could have won was if running jacks had materialized on both the turn and the river.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 121 hands and saw flop:
 - 11 out of 18 times while in big blind (61%)
 - 12 out of 17 times while in small blind (70%)
 - 50 out of 86 times in other positions (58%)
 - a total of 73 out of 121 (60%)
 Pots won at showdown - 13 of 20 (65%)
 Pots won without showdown - 8

delta: $-40,000
balance: $4,630,052
