Grind game

Football fans know it's very important to have a ground game. In poker, it's very important to have a grind game. What I mean by this is the ability to claw your way back to the black when you're pretty deeply in the red. To do this requires a combination of stubbornness, skill, and creativity. Last night, I had a good grind game, and needed to; on hand 4, I lost $14,500 when my pair of queens lost to a king high straight, and on hand 28 I lost $12,000 when my king high flush lost to an ace high flush. My stack hit its low of $13,904 at the end of hand 32. From then on, it rose steadily until the point where I could quit with a small profit.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 75 hands and saw flop:
 - 12 out of 14 times while in big blind (85%)
 - 9 out of 17 times while in small blind (52%)
 - 22 out of 44 times in other positions (50%)
 - a total of 43 out of 75 (57%)
 Pots won at showdown - 12 of 18 (66%)
 Pots won without showdown - 5

delta: $1,463
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $3,983,322
balance: $6,432,730
