One bad hand

In poker, all it takes is one bad hand to ruin hours of good play. Last night, I played such a hand. As I called an opponent's all in bet on the flop on hand 116, I knew it was the wrong thing to do. I was being impatient, looking for a short cut to salvage my session. That's never a good idea; it almost guarantees you'll end up in worse shape than if you'd just been patient. I had the good luck to win a big pot 11 hands later, and the good sense to quit the hand after that.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 128 hands and saw flop:
 - 8 out of 13 times while in big blind (61%)
 - 10 out of 17 times while in small blind (58%)
 - 53 out of 98 times in other positions (54%)
 - a total of 71 out of 128 (55%)
 Pots won at showdown - 7 of 20 (35%)
 Pots won without showdown - 9

delta: $-29,728
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,184,506
balance: $7,633,914
