A good losing session

It's a given that you can't win every session. In fact, even when you're a very good player, you must expect to lose roughly a third of the sessions you play. What makes for a good losing session? I think there are three criteria:

1. you were dealt a large number of hands
2. your seeing the flop percentage was low
3. you didn't hit the felt

Last night's session met all three criteria. The first two criteria cause your winning percentage to be very low. When your winning percentage is low, and you don't hit the felt, you've achieved a victory of sorts :-)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 82 hands and saw flop:
 - 4 out of 8 times while in big blind (50%)
 - 3 out of 10 times while in small blind (30%)
 - 25 out of 64 times in other positions (39%)
 - a total of 32 out of 82 (39%)
 Pots won at showdown - 4 of 9 (44%)
 Pots won without showdown - 0

delta: $-31,033
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,666,824
balance: $7,116,232
