A chip and a chair

An old poker adage says that all you need to win is a chip and a chair, especially since Jack “Treetop” Straus pulled off this feat in the '82 championship.

James McManus, "Positively Fifth Street"

Last night, I didn't get all the way down to a single chip left. However, it sometimes felt that way; I'd work hard to bring my stack up near its starting amount, only to see it fall back again. The fact that I was able to end the night in the black was due to three qualities which begin with the letter p and one which begins with an l - patience, perseverance, pluck, and luck. I was underwater for 152 of the 176 hands I played (86%).

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 176 hands and saw flop:
- 31 out of 33 times while in big blind (93%)
- 25 out of 32 times while in small blind (78%)
- 87 out of 111 times in other positions (78%)
- a total of 143 out of 176 (81%)
Pots won at showdown - 16 of 40 (40%)
Pots won without showdown - 22
