My third most perfect failure

Perfect success in poker, though virtually unattainable, has a simple definition - namely, on every hand, you either win the pot or put no money in it. If you can achieve that, your churn number is a perfect 1, which means no churn at all. Perfect failure in poker has just as simple a definition, and is far more likely to be achieved. To fail perfectly in poker, all you need to do is fail to win a single pot before hitting the felt. In this case also, your churn number is a perfect 1.

Last night, I hit the felt twice. I managed to win seven pots, but they were all small. My churn number came out to 1.516, which is the third lowest churn of the 40 losing sessions for which I have the requisite data to calculate churn. In other words, this was my third most perfect failure!

I'm not feeling down about it. I didn't play especially well, but I didn't play especially badly either. Some nights are just like that. You have to expect them, accept them, and move on.
