Long gone and hard to find

Though I don't watch much baseball these days, I still remember some of the colorful phrases the broadcasters used to use. One of my favorites was "long gone and hard to find." That was how Ned Martin, a longtime announcer for the Red Sox, used to describe home runs. Like those home runs, the PokerStars $100/$200 no limit hold'em tables with a maximum starting stack of $40,000 are long gone and hard to find. All $100/$200 no limit hold'em tables now have a maximum starting stack of $20,000. I'm not sure why PokerStars got rid of the $40,000 tables, but I miss them. I never realized they were an endangered species. As Joni Mitchell sang in "Big Yellow Taxi", "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone". On the plus side, I'm very comfortable with the $100/$200 blind structure, so that's where I'll stay for now.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 64 hands and saw flop:
 - 4 out of 7 times while in big blind (57%)
 - 5 out of 9 times while in small blind (55%)
 - 23 out of 48 times in other positions (47%)
 - a total of 32 out of 64 (50%)
 Pots won at showdown - 7 of 13 (53%)
 Pots won without showdown - 3

delta: $33,372
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,806,903
balance: $7,163,856
