The middle of nowhere

Playing poker can be likened to being on a long bus ride. You want to stay on the bus, and go as far as you can. Sometimes, though, you're forced off the bus, dropped off essentially in the middle of nowhere. How you deal with that situation has a lot to do with how successful a player you're going to be. What do you need to do when you're dropped off in the middle of nowhere? Hard as it might seem, you just need to walk. Use your own two legs and get moving. You won't get there as fast as if you were still on the bus, but with persistence and luck, you'll get there.

Last night, I was dropped off in the middle of nowhere on hand 56. I hit the felt, and was down the amount of my original starting stack, $50,000. I replenished my stack, and started my long walk back to the black. I reached it on hand 96, and quit the next hand.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 97 hands and saw flop:
 - 11 out of 12 times while in big blind (91%)
 - 8 out of 15 times while in small blind (53%)
 - 30 out of 70 times in other positions (42%)
 - a total of 49 out of 97 (50%)
 Pots won at showdown - 6 of 14 (42%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1

delta: $5,722
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,303,264
balance: $7,660,217
