Great eights late

It's hard to win a pot of any kind with only a pair. It's even harder to win a decent-sized pot with only a pair. It's hardest of all to win a decent-sized pot with only a middle-of-the-road pair. If you manage to do this, you owe at least half of your achievement to luck. Last night, I had great eights late. On hand 83, I was dealt 8h Jh, and the board ran out Ts 4c 3h 8s 9c. I ended up winning a pot worth $19,200 with my lowly pair of eights. Of that, $13,000 was o.p.m. (other people's money). I just checked the archives, and that was my second largest delta ever with that hand.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 85 hands and saw flop:
 - 9 out of 11 times while in big blind (81%)
 - 6 out of 11 times while in small blind (54%)
 - 29 out of 63 times in other positions (46%)
 - a total of 44 out of 85 (51%)
 Pots won at showdown - 6 of 8 (75%)
 Pots won without showdown - 4

delta: $-433
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,855,354
balance: $7,304,762
