The poker doldrums

Last night, I had another big loss. Once again, the difference between losing and winning hinged on a small number of hands - in this case, just two. On hand 8, I flopped a flush, but ended up losing to an uberflush; I lost $22,201 on the hand. On hand 60, my two pair of kings and sevens got outkicked; I lost $23,512 on the hand. Had I won both hands, I would have had over $25,000 in profit on the night. Woulda coulda shoulda. I'm definitely in the poker doldrums. It's not that I'm losing money hand over fist; it's just that I can't sustain any winning momentum. As soon as I go up a hundred thousand or two, I give it all back. I'll try playing a little bit tighter tonight, and see if that helps.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 168 hands and saw flop:
 - 23 out of 25 times while in big blind (92%)
 - 15 out of 28 times while in small blind (53%)
 - 70 out of 115 times in other positions (60%)
 - a total of 108 out of 168 (64%)
 Pots won at showdown - 10 of 29 (34%)
 Pots won without showdown - 14

delta: $-79,827
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,723,764
