Variance

Last night, my stack took some wild swings. That's known in the business as variance. To succeed in poker, you need to be able to deal with variance. I've found that for me, the best way to deal with it is to keep playing :-) I hit the felt on hand 20, then played another 98 hands after reupping. I ended the night with a tiny profit. It was another pride and sorrow session; I lost a whopping $217,135 on my losing hands. That clocks in as the third largest amount I've ever lost in a winning session.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 118 hands and saw flop:
 - 12 out of 16 times while in big blind (75%)
 - 9 out of 15 times while in small blind (60%)
 - 35 out of 87 times in other positions (40%)
 - a total of 56 out of 118 (47%)
 Pots won at showdown - 5 of 12 (41%)
 Pots won without showdown - 8

delta: $1,475
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,485,614
balance: $7,842,567
