Embracing failure

In honor of hitting the felt for the 240th time in my cash game no limit hold'em career, I'd like to give a shout out to my friend Bruce Lynn and his excellent blog, "Leadership and Management / Turning Adversity to Advantage".

Bruce has long evangelized the power of embracing failure. I find his posts inspiring, and very applicable to the world of poker. Poker never stops humbling you, no matter how good you think you are :-)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 52 hands and saw flop:
 - 9 out of 9 times while in big blind (100%)
 - 8 out of 9 times while in small blind (88%)
 - 18 out of 34 times in other positions (52%)
 - a total of 35 out of 52 (67%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 11 (45%)
 Pots won without showdown - 3

delta: $-50,000
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $6,084,730
balance: $9,142,433
