My blue heaven

If there's anything I like more than making up a new poker statistic, it's making one up which shows I'm at the top of my game. All the statistics I come up with can be used to rank sessions, or groups of contiguous sessions, in order from best to worst (in terms of the particular statistic). What I really love to see is when the top entry on the list has an ending date which is the date of my most recent session.

In neo parlance, a blue session is one where one's balance goes "into the blue" - in other words, hits a new all-time high. If a session is blue, it has a "blue count" of 1; otherwise, its "blue count" is 0. My new poker statistic is a moving sum of blue counts, looked at over a configurable number of contiguous sessions.

Here are my top ten blue counts over a 30 session span:

The number in parentheses is the number of winning sessions in the span. A blue session is by definition a winning session, but a winning session doesn't have to be a blue one.

As you can see, my blue heaven is happening right now :-)
