I can't remember last time I was so unlucky at the poker tables. I mean pushing my money at the right time at the right place, and not getting paid! That is surely frustrating. The graph below shows the hands that I was all-in, showing the expected winnings with red and the actual winnings with blue.

All in Luck

Now, tell me that isn't unlucky! Here's a remarkable hand without comments.

I have also stopped publishing my daily profit or loss in the right top column since no one was really interested, considering the clicks on those links.
