Heartbeat hands

For your stack to maintain its current size, let alone grow, there must be regular infusions of large numbers of chips. I call these heartbeat hands. A heartbeat hand should have a delta at least as large as your initial stake. For instance, a heartbeat hand when the initial stake is $50,000 should have a delta of at least $50,000. Last night, I finally had another heartbeat hand, after 703 hands in the wilderness. On hand 54, I won a pot worth $97,316, good for a hand delta of $51,783. I did some research and discovered that my longest sojourn between heartbeat hands was a whopping 4,043 hands, back in July and August of 2013.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 97 hands and saw flop:
 - 11 out of 14 times while in big blind (78%)
 - 6 out of 15 times while in small blind (40%)
 - 20 out of 68 times in other positions (29%)
 - a total of 37 out of 97 (38%)
 Pots won at showdown - 4 of 8 (50%)
 Pots won without showdown - 6

delta: $45,199
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $6,258,675
balance: $8,841,372
