top two pair on drawy board
Villian was 26/8 over 100 hands. I had not seen him getting out of line, but there were many draws on the board. The small flop c/raise confused me -- I didn't know if this was a draw, AQ, or a set....

Re: Bottom boat - 20/40 live

Re: Bellagio restaraunts??
The food at Jasmine is good, but not worth the price IMO. The view is beautiful, though.

Re: Are Winrates Normally Distributed?
I think PTjvs is dead on. Also, this effect is strongest when the blocks of hands are very small. If the block is just one hand in length, then (in a 10-handed game) around 90% of your sample points...
