Worst to first

A poker table is like a big washing machine. You'll get tumbled around, but so will everybody else. As time goes on, you're guaranteed not to stay in the same place. You'll be pushed to the bottom at times, and pulled to the top at others. You shouldn't feel too bad when you're at the bottom, and also you shouldn't feel too elated when you're at the top. Bear in mind, I'm talking about when you're at a table with opponents who are your equals skill-wise. When you're at a table with opponents who are more skillful, you'd better resign yourself to being at the bottom of the washing machine.

Last night, I had a lengthy sojourn as the short stack at the table. On hand 41, I won a huge pot worth $126,967 with a pair of queens. That made me the big stack, enabling me to complete an improbable journey from worst to first.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 42 hands and saw flop:
 - 3 out of 6 times while in big blind (50%)
 - 2 out of 5 times while in small blind (40%)
 - 16 out of 31 times in other positions (51%)
 - a total of 21 out of 42 (50%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 3 (66%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1

delta: $86,561
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,372,157
balance: $7,729,110
