6-freq rockets

There are 1,326 unique starting hands in hold'em. Six of those are pocket rockets, the best starting hand in hold'em. Therefore, you should expect to be dealt rockets once every 1326 / 6 = 221 hands. Since it's highly unusual for me to play that many hands in a session (I've only done it 5 times in my poker life), I can't expect to see rockets every session. Last night, I was dealt rockets three times. In this case, I got 6-freq rockets. That's my shorthand for seeing rockets six times as frequently as I should. The formula for calculating the rockets frequency factor is as follows:

freq_rockets = num_rockets * 221 / num_hands

Plugging in the numbers from last night's session, freq_rockets comes out to 3 * 221 / 111 = 5.97. Let's just call it 6; that's close enough for government work :-) The highest rockets frequency factor I ever got in my career was nearly 10; in that case also, I received them three times in the session.

The first time I got rockets last night, I won a pot worth $31,600. The second time, I won a pot worth $1,730. The last time, I lost a pot worth $4,584.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 111 hands and saw flop:
 - 10 out of 14 times while in big blind (71%)
 - 11 out of 14 times while in small blind (78%)
 - 43 out of 83 times in other positions (51%)
 - a total of 64 out of 111 (57%)
 Pots won at showdown - 9 of 15 (60%)
 Pots won without showdown - 9

delta: $7,793
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $4,916,231
balance: $7,273,184
