Sessionus horribilus

Last night I had a sessionus horribilus - in other words, a horrible session. How horrible was it? Horrible enough to tie my worst ever cash game no limit hold'em session with a maximum starting stack of $40,000. I hit the felt, hard; not once, not twice, but three times. Friends and neighbors, that's $120,000 gone in less than 60 seconds (counting only the time I spent deciding whether to call huge river bets). Here's the short version of my tale of woe:

- on hand 36, I lost $24,660 to hit the felt the first time; my two pair of tens and fives lost to a king high straight

- on hand 45, I lost $38,040 to hit the felt a second time; my full house of threes full of sevens lost to a full house of aces full of sevens

- on hand 62, I lost $45,858 to hit the felt a third time; my queen high flush, which I'd made on the flop, lost to a full house of fives full of queens

I'm now over the $25 million dollar mark in play money lost in my online poker career. Thankfully, I'm over the $32 million dollar mark in play money won.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 62 hands and saw flop:
 - 7 out of 7 times while in big blind (100%)
 - 6 out of 8 times while in small blind (75%)
 - 29 out of 47 times in other positions (61%)
 - a total of 42 out of 62 (67%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 14 (35%)
 Pots won without showdown - 3

delta: $-120,000
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,646,139
balance: $7,003,092
