Pocks and freqs

I want to talk a little bit about pocks and freqs. Pocks are pocket pairs. Freqs are frequencies of occurrence. Every pock has a freq of 221. That is to say, every pocket pair occurs, on average, once every 221 hands. Since the vast majority of the sessions I play are less than 221 hands in length, that means that it's generally more likely than not that any particular pocket pair will not occur in a session. Last night, a freq-y thing happened :-) I got pocket fours multiple times. Four times, in fact! That turns out to be 6.41 times as frequently as they should have occurred. I was aware that fours kept coming up, but only remember them coming up three times. The fourth time was the charm. I flopped a set, ended up going all in, and won a side pot worth $50,708 and a main pot worth $74,882. It was the most lucrative pocket fours hand of my career by far, and my 14th most lucrative pocket pair.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 138 hands and saw flop:
 - 15 out of 18 times while in big blind (83%)
 - 6 out of 15 times while in small blind (40%)
 - 62 out of 105 times in other positions (59%)
 - a total of 83 out of 138 (60%)
 Pots won at showdown - 9 of 17 (52%)
 Pots won without showdown - 11

delta: $25,590
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $6,936,370
balance: $9,841,469
