The opposite of grinding

Every so often, you find yourself on poker's Easy Street. That's when your decisions are effortless, since you're getting dealt both wonderful hold cards and wonderful fold cards. When you're dealt wonderful hold cards, you hold on to them to the end of the line. When you're dealt wonderful fold cards, you fold them right way. When you're essentially not dealt anything in between, your poker life is really good. That's what happened to me last night. I call such a situation the opposite of grinding. Last night, my average ending balance was a healthy 69K, more than 100K north of the previous night's session. Of course, poker's Easy Street is not something any poker player has any control over. Nevertheless, it's fun when it happens :-)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 74 hands and saw flop:
 - 9 out of 12 times while in big blind (75%)
 - 8 out of 10 times while in small blind (80%)
 - 27 out of 52 times in other positions (51%)
 - a total of 44 out of 74 (59%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 15 (33%)
 Pots won without showdown - 11

delta: $101,140
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $6,278,116
balance: $9,335,819
