The lonesome one

When I play cash game no limit hold'em at a nine player table, I aim for my winning rate to be at least the land of the ones. The more big stacks there are at the table, however, the harder that is to achieve. In cases where there are multiple big stacks, the land of the ones may be too much to hope for; a more reasonable goal is the lonesome one. To review, the land of the ones is when you win 1 of every 9 hands, for a winning rate of .111111...  The lonesome one is when you win 1 of every 10 hands, for a winning rate of .100000.

I just checked the archives, and discovered that I've played eight sessions where I hit the lonesome one on the nose. Of those eight, six were winning (including last night's) and two were losing. There's no better proof that patience pays in poker.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 40 hands and saw flop:
 - 5 out of 6 times while in big blind (83%)
 - 4 out of 5 times while in small blind (80%)
 - 14 out of 29 times in other positions (48%)
 - a total of 23 out of 40 (57%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 6 (33%)
 Pots won without showdown - 2

delta: $6,428
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,455,997
balance: $7,812,950
