Hot air balloon ride

Last night, I lost my starting stack of $40,000 in slow motion; the process took 108 hands in all. You could say my stack took a hot air balloon ride down to the felt :-). The largest amount I lost on a single hand was $7,200. The largest amount I won on a single hand was $2,366. Nights like that are inevitable; there's nothing you can do to avoid them, and there's precious little you can do once they've started (short of quitting early). The best thing to do is be philosophical about them.

In my SkillBet match, there was a lot of drama in the final four hands. At the start of hand 27, I was within striking distance of  my opponent, down $15.15. At the end of the hand, he was seemingly out of reach - I was down $45.15 to him, and there were only three hands left. Hand 28 was a wash. I beat him pretty soundly on hands 29 and 30, coming all the way back to being down $12.00. Unfortunately, I was out of hands.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 108 hands and saw flop:
 - 33 out of 37 times while in big blind (89%)
 - 22 out of 36 times while in small blind (61%)
 - 19 out of 35 times in other positions (54%)
 - a total of 74 out of 108 (68%)
 Pots won at showdown - 11 of 26 (42%)
 Pots won without showdown - 21

delta: $-40,000
balance: $6,257,591
