Heavenly sevens

Pocks (pocket pairs) are an awesome starting hand; you rarely want to fold them before the flop. The only time you should consider doing so is when the price is just too high. Of course, it's a judgment call what constitutes too high a price. What you hope for with pocks is to flop a set, of course. One of the great things about flopping a set is that you generally have a huge lead on your opponents; if the board pairs, you end up with a full house, a virtually unbeatable hand.

Last night, on hand 33, I was dealt pocket sevens, and flopped a set. I got into a brief raising war with a very aggressive player, who quickly went all in. I called, the board paired on the turn, and I won a pot worth $48,340 with a full house, sevens full of kings. Dodge City.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 34 hands and saw flop:
 - 6 out of 6 times while in big blind (100%)
 - 5 out of 9 times while in small blind (55%)
 - 8 out of 19 times in other positions (42%)
 - a total of 19 out of 34 (55%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 5 (40%)
 Pots won without showdown - 2

delta: $13,239
balance: $6,275,288
