The perfect underwater session

No poker player likes being underwater. However, being underwater is the most common state at a poker table. The vast majority of the time, you have to be patient, waiting for your turn to break through the surface. This poker reality got me thinking about underwater sessions, and what the perfect one might be. I think I've come up with an answer. For me, the perfect underwater session is one where you were underwater for every hand but two - your first and last hands of the night. By definition, you can't be underwater on your first hand. If you weren't underwater on your last hand, there's an excellent chance you had a winning session. Both of my last two sessions were perfect, underwater-wise :-)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 42 hands and saw flop:
 - 9 out of 9 times while in big blind (100%)
 - 9 out of 10 times while in small blind (90%)
 - 15 out of 23 times in other positions (65%)
 - a total of 33 out of 42 (78%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 10 (50%)
 Pots won without showdown - 4
