Sixteened

The most I've ever lost on a hand when I was dealt pocket rockets is $51,200. Last night, on the next to last hand of the session, I was dealt pocket rockets, and lost $20,000. I was left with only $209, and lost it on the next hand. What made my $20,000 loss hurt even more than it normally would was that there were two pots, a main pot and a side pot, and statistically I'd had a great chance of either winning the side pot or chopping it. The opponent who won the side pot had only had a sixteen percent chance of winning it. When you're sixteened, it isn't sweet at all.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 76 hands and saw flop:
 - 10 out of 12 times while in big blind (83%)
 - 9 out of 11 times while in small blind (81%)
 - 37 out of 53 times in other positions (69%)
 - a total of 56 out of 76 (73%)
 Pots won at showdown - 8 of 15 (53%)
 Pots won without showdown - 3

Sixteened

Last Thursday night, I hit the felt on hand 9 when I was sixteened. That is to say, I lost to a 16.32% underdog after the turn. I reupped at the same table, went up about $15K a third of the way through the session, then had a long slide back to my starting amount of $40K. At that point, I started to lose patience, and invested way too much on a pair of aces with a weak kicker which I eventually had to fold. At this point there was a big stack who was bullying the table, and I got sick of it. When I got a semi-decent hand of king jack suited, I went all in with it preflop, only to see the big stack turn over ace king offsuit. His big slick held up, and I'd hit the felt once again.

Tonight I promise to be more patient!

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 83 hands and saw flop:
- 5 out of 11 times while in big blind (45%)
- 4 out of 12 times while in small blind (33%)
- 28 out of 60 times in other positions (46%)
- a total of 37 out of 83 (44%)
Pots won at showdown - 5 of 14 (35%)
Pots won without showdown - 2
