Futile perfection redux

Some nights, you know there's nothing you can do to save yourself from hitting the felt. It won't be because you're playing recklessly, and it won't be because you're making bad decisions. It will simply be because you're not getting the cards you need. This happens periodically to all players. When it happens to me, I like to see how closely the bar chart of my stack size over the course of the session resembles what I call futile perfection. Futile perfection would be if you lost the exact same amount on every hand, until you had no more chips. That bar chart would be a perfectly straight downward slanting line. I came close to futile perfection once before, and came even closer last night.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 71 hands and saw flop:
 - 7 out of 9 times while in big blind (77%)
 - 4 out of 10 times while in small blind (40%)
 - 25 out of 52 times in other positions (48%)
 - a total of 36 out of 71 (50%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 12 (16%)
 Pots won without showdown - 2

delta: $-27,917
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,757,178
balance: $7,114,131
