Saved by a flush

Last night, I hit a diamond flush on the river when I was all in. That luck paved my way to the money. To put it plainly, I was saved by the flush. Being saved is a recurring tournament theme. It's almost a given that you'll need to be saved at least once in a tournament to have a shot at making the money. Realizing that is a good way to stay within shouting distance of humble :-)

Saved by a flush

Last night, my stack took a precipitous drop in the middle third of the session. If I hadn't been lucky enough to flop a flush and double up at just the right time, I would likely have hit the felt. I wouldn't have been able to double up on the hand if my opponent hadn't flopped a really decent hand also - a set of jacks. As you know, flushes are my favorite type of hand; it felt great to be saved by one!

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 104 hands and saw flop:
- 12 out of 14 times while in big blind (85%)
- 12 out of 13 times while in small blind (92%)
- 56 out of 77 times in other positions (72%)
- a total of 80 out of 104 (76%)
Pots won at showdown - 8 of 14 (57%)
Pots won without showdown - 6
