A blizzard of snowmen

I've mentioned my worst hand, AJo (aka offsuit), many times in this blog. Since I started keeping aggregate totals by hand type, AJo has been my undisputed champion worst hand; no other hand has come within $-200,000 of it. That said, there are other hands with which I've racked up fairly impressive negative totals. One of them is pocket eights, otherwise known as snowmen. On Saturday night, I had a blizzard of snowmen. What I mean by that is they were being dealt to me at a frenetic pace. In 64 hands, I was dealt snowmen 3 times, which is more than 10 times their expected frequency. I failed to win any of those hands. On hand 5, I lost $45,500 with them, and hit the felt. Just three hands later, I lost $5,500 with them. Finally, on hand 34, I lost $6,250 with them. All in all, I lost $57,250 with snowmen on the night. That brought my lifetime snowmen aggregate total to $-175,712, moving it up to my seventh worst hand.
