Roller coaster

The bar chart of my balance since December 1st of last year resembles a roller coaster. After losing close to $80,000 last night, I'm in danger of falling below the three million mark. My audacious goal of winning $3,000,000 in a calendar year is exposed for being vainglorious and laughably unrealistic. I'll have to scale back, and set my sights on the much more modest and attainable goal of $1,000,000 in a calendar year.

I certainly didn't play well last night, but no one hand stands out as having been egregiously badly played. I wasn't card dead, but was mostly "luck dead". At the end of the night, I got really lucky when I won a $17,100 pot as an 18% underdog, for a delta of $10,000. Wouldn't you know it, I didn't have the good sense to quit right then, and four hands later, gave it all back.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 84 hands and saw flop:
- 10 out of 11 times while in big blind (90%)
- 10 out of 11 times while in small blind (90%)
- 39 out of 62 times in other positions (62%)
- a total of 59 out of 84 (70%)
Pots won at showdown - 4 of 10 (40%)
Pots won without showdown - 2

delta: $-75,100
balance: $3,046,172
