A profitable loss

On Wednesday night, in my return to cash games, I failed to have a winning session. Nevertheless, it met my criteria for a profitable loss :-) That is to say, I took a bad beat on the hand where I lost the most money, and if I'd won that hand, I would have made a profit. How can that be profitable, you might ask. My answer is that the bad beat proves I was playing well, and if I keep playing that way, I'm bound to turn a profit.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 123 hands and saw flop:
 - 4 out of 15 times while in big blind (26%)
 - 5 out of 17 times while in small blind (29%)
 - 30 out of 91 times in other positions (32%)
 - a total of 39 out of 123 (31%)
 Pots won at showdown - 4 of 9 (44%)
 Pots won without showdown - 4

delta: $-9,740
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,902,783
balance: $10,147,925
