A tale of two 404s

Last night, I had a good session, even though for all practical purposes I hit the felt. On the 129th hand, my three of a kind, threes lost a pot worth $104,300 to a three of a kind, tens. It was a set over set situation. I lost $52,000 on the hand, leaving me with just $808. I don't feel bad about not folding; I just feel a little bad about staying too long at the fair!

When I saw the balance of 808, it looked somehow familiar. Then I realized that it could be split up into two 404s. Anyone who's done enough web surfing is familiar with the HTTP 404 error, which means "Page not found". I decided to figure out what these two 404s meant in my case :-) Here's what I came up with:

- first 404: "Profit taking decision not found". Clearly I should have quit the session earlier on.

- second 404: "Fear-based fold not found". I'm proud I didn't fold my set.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 130 hands and saw flop:
 - 22 out of 27 times while in big blind (81%)
 - 21 out of 27 times while in small blind (77%)
 - 58 out of 76 times in other positions (76%)
 - a total of 101 out of 130 (77%)
 Pots won at showdown - 12 of 27 (44%)
 Pots won without showdown - 16

delta: $-39,192
balance: $4,883,273
