Personal best straight

I've mentioned on this blog before that I'm not a big fan of straights. All too often, they get beaten by flushes or boats. However, that doesn't mean you can't win monster pots with them. On Saturday night, I had a personal best straight, winning a pot worth $136,814 with it. That was the main pot, but there were also two side pots totalling $53,442. Four of us went to showdown; one of my opponents won both side pots with trip nines. Unless you have the stone cold nuts, you don't want to be going to showdown against three opponents if you can help it. In this case, it was out of my control. I was the first player to go all-in, and the player who acted immediately after me raised all in, and got two callers.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 133 hands and saw flop:
 - 17 out of 17 times while in big blind (100%)
 - 13 out of 18 times while in small blind (72%)
 - 51 out of 98 times in other positions (52%)
 - a total of 81 out of 133 (60%)
 Pots won at showdown - 6 of 15 (40%)
 Pots won without showdown - 15

delta: $56,875
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $6,213,117
balance: $9,270,820
