Default Umm. Yeah. Its Fixed . . . In My Favor Apparently

After getting on a bad run for a week or so, and subsequently losing about 40% of what I had in my account, I took 2 weeks off, not playing a single hand.

Upon my return, (and all the following is in the next 24 hands) I proceed to get pocket aces not once, not twice, but thrice! And all three hold up. I also had JTs on the button and tried a bluff on a 6-4-3 flop. The turn was a ten and held up against someone else's pocket nines. Later, I decided to limp in EARLY position with 76s. I proceded to flop three sevens. The turn was the case seven and the river was an eight. The man with the eight was rather nice about this loss.

Whew, went from $18 to $216 in twenty four hands, so.....fixed, yeah, sure is. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well, let me see. The odds of getting aces are 220 to 1. The odds of aces holding up against a random hand is a little over 5.5 to 1. The odds of getting a four of a kind is 4164 to 1. So, lets run through the math...carry the one...umm, yeah, fixed.
