Min win

In poker, a min raise is when you raise by the minimum amount, which is one big blind. You might think that the minimum amount you can win in a winning session would be the same amount, but you'd be wrong. The minimum amount you can win in a winning session is actually one play dollar, regardless of the size of the blinds. The reason is simple; since you can bet any amount which is at least the big blind amount, you can also lose any amount which is at least the big blind amount. If, for instance, you have $42,000, bet $1,999 on a hand, and lose, you end up with $40,001. If you decide to quit at that moment, you'll have achieved the perfect min win of a single play dollar.

Last night, I had an impressive min win; I won less than a big blind. In fact, I won the least I've ever won in 110 winning sessions of cash game no limit hold'em. I would have played longer, but the table quit on me, and I didn't feel like joining another.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 81 hands and saw flop:
 - 21 out of 23 times while in big blind (91%)
 - 16 out of 22 times while in small blind (72%)
 - 25 out of 36 times in other positions (69%)
 - a total of 62 out of 81 (76%)
 Pots won at showdown - 12 of 26 (46%)
 Pots won without showdown - 19

delta: $192
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,908,831
balance: $7,358,239
