I have no clue what the problem is but I've tried for almost an hour yo get on a 200/100 blind table and kept getting table is full.....has happened before, actually yesterday...but never for this long....took one look at a 1000/500 blind table but two big stakes having "The Showdown st OK Corral" [link]  no thanx......will try later......
(Later)
   Still can't get on a table (200/100 blind), so have spent some time adding links to online game sites..haven't got a chance to do any in depth playing on them as of yet...will advise later
(15:34 UTC-4)
   Still unable to log on to a 200/100 blind table.....have no idea what the problem is, and don't want to speculate.....the option of playing at a higher blind table is there of course but.....I'm stubborn and set in my ways....and I simply would rather not play...then play were I don't want to....I've sent a message to the game to ask what's happening.......if you want to  contact the game follow the link to the left for "Super Happy Fun Time (poker)......there is a link upper right next to the "play button" to send a message....(it's a Facebook page)

   First run to the tables, as usual 200/100 blind table.....played for 1/2 hour......mixed bag of play.....pushers, kamikaze, and dive bombers......but managed to win a few pots.....and make one stupid call......up just south of 4K......saw a reluctant pot pusher, always a raise before the flop.....and after the flop.....more often then not a quick fold....and the couple of time he didn't fold....he lost all but 1 showdown.....farmisht.....

(later)
  There is much rejoicing....finally cleared a Crescent Solitaire again......devilish game....
(still later)
  A guy in a red cape, horns, a tail and a pitchfork......came up to me.....put a arm around me and said "It finally froze".......I cleared "Crescent Solitaire" for the second time on the same day....
(later still)
   Have played more today, but just can't seem to catch a hand, down about 4K......still have 3 more drops.....but probably I'm done on the tables for the day........only good hand all day had pocket 9s.....3rd 9 in the flop.....and the 4th on the turn...besides that not much....but you can't win every day.....
(Day End)
Total Cash: 61.2M, Net Gain: 336K, Drops(8) & Roulette(1) 340K, Tables -4K
133 Hands Played Today, Total Hands Played 19243

  First run at the tables (200/100 blinds)......1st hand, pocket Aces, 3rd Ace on the river.....nice......3 or 4 decent hands.....good table decided to play awhile but after about 30 minutes.....a major league pot pusher appeared and the old Madtrollie disappeared (bye the bye name on my avatar is "Charles")......I must admit to chasing on one hand but flopped 4 to a straight, 4 to a flush, and 4 to a straight flush.....I knew the chances were pretty close to nil......the straight was a "gut shot".....but how many times do you get that chance....didn't get the card...but given the same chance would do it again
(later)
   Did something this afternoon I haven't done for a very long time. jumped around and couldn't find a table that the players weren't kamikazes, dive bombers, or pot pushers....almost gave up....1 last try found a table to my liking and played for well over an hour and a half.....filled my medal mission, and came away with reasonable winnings, (200/100 blind table).....first roulette was bargain basement 60K......one more roulette and maybe 1 drop......but that last drop would be around 2330 (local time).....and my get up and go has got up and went....so I may leave it to the morrow....
{Days End)
Total Cash: 60.89M....Net for today: 261.35K...Drop(6),Roulette(2): 240K......Table/slots: 21350

   Went out, as is my custom, first thing after collecting a drop (20K) to a 200/100 blind table.....must have been a lull in the bombing raids..won the first 2 hands one with 2 pair, and the other with pocket Aces......at 16 hands a brief lull but didn't catch a hand......that the kamikaze and dive bombers returned in full force and I departed only 20 hands played...
   First roulette for the day (had a chip).......hit for 1.6M....now in the past if you check your total you got 1.6M but if you left and came back you actually got 800K.....so I did just that came back and the total was off but just by a little ( I keep a running record of gains and losses.....I'm a math nerd)......and discovered that instead of 1.6M my bank was credited with 1.55M, 50K had been deducted...??.....house's cut..??....will kept an "eye" on future payouts....but it looks like a chip maybe a  good thing to have for roulette.....
(later)
    Crescent Solitaire is out to get me, just like Ace/King in the pocket in poker..dangle a win in front of me only to dash my hopes......after the last shuffle down to 2 cards from a clear....Ace & Deuce of Clubs....and for the umpteenth time....Ace on top of Deuce.......last tableau pile......rats and double rats...It's enough to make me meshugeh...
(Day's End)
Bank: 60.63M....Drops/Roulette: 1.83M...Table/Slots: 5,391..(24 hands/5 slot spins).....

  Some days you win and then there are days like today.....played almost an hour....defended two pair...forced all-in....lost to a straight......down 26.7 K..at the tables......on the bright side.....hit roulette out of the gate for 140K......it is after all poker......I try very hard to make it math, and logic.....but it ain't....dang I should have worn my red under-war.....
(later)
  Didn't play after the 54 hands I played first thing.....and despite the losses.....if I find a table that fits my style I intend to play more then the 16 hands for  the mission.....and besides some days you win and some you don't......
  +360K on 7 drops and 2 roulette.....so a net gain in the bank of 333.3K........
( on another note )
  Been playing a lot of "Crescent Solitaire"......had a couple of games with 6 of the foundation piles complete......but no winners.....

  I broke with my long standing routine this morning....usually out to a 200/100 blind table, which I did, normally I play my 16 hands to get the 16+ mission, but decided to keep playing...hand 23......pocket 2s, flop 3rd 2.....river 4th 2...and a very nice pot......left with just south of 10K
(days end)
  Just was in the mood to play more today then above......other things took president....8 drops and 1 roulette.....only 260K.....and the money from the quad 2s.....

  Early morning run at tables.....complete the 16+ hands mission, down a little less then 2K, logged on a little early for a crack at roulette and decided to play a few hands....(200/100 blind table)......mostly to use up my 5 slot spins (won 200)......lost a moderate size pot to a better full house......and then I have a confession to make....I went all in......not before the flop but after the turn....I had a 10/6 in the hole and the flop had 2-10s...apparently the turn gave one of the other players 2 pair, he had me covered, and bet enough to put me all-in.....and decided I should defend the hand.....river was a 6...ended up with a full house, nice pot......covered all my losses and 15+K to boot.....and then hit 300K on roulette.....nice start to the day......
(on another topic)
 Dang "Crescent" solitaire.....after the last shuffle completed 7 of the 8 foundation piles....all except clubs......2 cards to go Ace/Deuce in one stack.......you guessed it....Ace was on top.....NUTS!!
(later)
  Just lost a nice pot......2 kings on the board.....I had a king in the pocket, he had Ace/king.....dang...karma got me after all the derogatory things I've said about A/K......I'm still ahead on the tables/slots for the day.....if you call 524$ being  ahead......small steps......oy vey
(days end)
  8 drops + 2 roulette= 1.26M  in to the "bank" current total just north of 58M..... 

A  very typical start to the day.....way too typical......17 hands......never saw  a showdown......down slightly less then 2K....went back out (200/100 blind table).....played just under an hour a pack of pot pushers....saw 2 showdowns.....first one flop hit both of my hole cards....had top, and middle pair....board never paired.....river 5.....I'd call anytime.........but this time.........one of the players had pocket 5s.....oy vey.....but I hung in......had 7/3 in the pocket.....flop was 3/9/3......turn was a J.....river 7......was at about 14K in the hole before the hand......made that back.....and what I had lost on the first table......and left 5K+ to the good......
(later)
  Went back to the tables later just played a few hands well waiting for a roulette spin....made a few K.......total 7.3K on 75 hands......
  For the day 7 drops (140K) & 2 roulette (900K).....ended the day at 56.8M....

  Day started like too many lately.....wild betting, couldn't catch a real hand, 17 hands,  never saw a flop.....exited down a couple of K.......played for an hour later.....not as crazy......but never really caught a hand, won a few pots but basically was "treading water"....last 15 minutes got a couple of nice hands....but no big pots......won a little on slots........ended erasing the earlier losses but just marginal gains.....
  On the other hand with one drop to go hit the drops/roulette for 1.04M (drops 5 for 100k, roulette 140K & 800K).......was checking out the stats of other players at the table.....one of them......less the 100 hands played.....and about 13K at the table and 200 in reserve....oy vey.....(for comparison my current hands played 18692)
(on another note)
  Although I still play most of the games on "just Solitaire" I've listed below, I've really got "hooked" on "Aces Up" and Labyrinth"......both are difficult to clear, but are fairly quick games, also still playing some "Crescent"......also a difficult game to clear, but it takes way to long,.......still playing "Fall Spades" (off Facebook).....as for the rest....just once in awhile......

  Morning run to a table......a few Kamikaze, but some even rejected by the rest of the players, actually won 2 hands, and saw the flop a couple more times.....won 2 pots....left with 6K+ more then I entered with.......roulette first thing....only 60K.......but another spin later......
(later)
  Played briefly after ....broke even at the table but netted 8.1K, 2nd roulette 300K......so a gain for the day of 514.7K...

  Interesting morning at the table (200/100 blind table)......not a kamikaze or dive bomber in sight, just the morning meeting of "Push the Pot Inc.".........first hand hole cards were suited A/K....if you read anything here before you know my disrespect for the pair......but only a small pre-flop raise, so I called......flop had a King,Queen,three......eventually the 3 paired....and some raise, re-raise calls, and a nice pot....I knew that pocket Queens or a pocket 3 could beat me, but took the plunge, won a nice pot.......the only one I won, or for that matter was even in the "showdown".....escaped after 17 hands with just under a 6K in the bank.....and 2 missions complete
  Remember if you win for example a 10K pot, some of that is your bets, and the "house" takes a cut of every pot.....before the game went mobile after the reveal...the pot size would show, the reduced payout.....
(later)
    I filled my hands played mission, that speeds up the clock, went back two hours later for the drop and then it hit the fan........I hadn't claimed it......oy vey....must have been distracted by something or my "Old Timer's Syndrome" got me again.......well I am 70 years young ( well depends on who your talking to......)
(much later)
  8 drops & 1 roulette..460K....didn't play at the tables except for the first 17 hands.....5.990 to the good......because of my brain fart I lost a little time so will make my last drop at the stroke of midnight.....( have already counted the 20K in my daily total....but decided to write the summary now)

  As per usual of late first trip to the tables and ran into a flock of kamikaze and dive bombers...played  the mission required 16 hands....and escaped with only minimal losses......I think I saw maybe 2 flops........back out a little later..same thing except that in a brief lull managed to erase the losses and gain a little........later still decided to cash a chip and played about an hour........found a good table but couldn't catch a decent hand.....and then got on a hot streak and won a few hands....and had decided to play longer but the "all-in before the flop on any two cards crowd" descended....and I departed.......520K on drops and roulette and a tad over 23K  at the tables......no slots today.....I'm retired and can play or not play as much as I like......

   What has become my average day.....marginal gains at the tables......slightly below average day of drops and roulette......and dodging the Kamikaze and dive bombers.......from a certain point of view I can understand that style of play........it's a way that allows one to gain experience points at an accelerated pace, however that style really would never lend itself to playing poker in the "real world".......where the bet comes out of your own pocket.......but in the vacuum of this game......it works......but it just not a good fit for me.......so at least for the time being.....I will muddle through with my conservation........and to some I'm sure......boring style.......

(A wild celebration can be heard in the background)
  Finally I cleared "Crescent Solitaire" only 3 cards left before the last shuffle.....and that ranged the cards in ascending order........it had been a long drought since the last time I cleared it.......
(early table report)
  Survived a table infested my kamikaze and dive bombers....took only 1 hand out of the 17  to the river......board paired for the second time.....I had two pair before that......a huge bet before me......my reaction was.......DANG!!!......he's got a house, I folded another stayed in and sure enough he had a house.......rivered again.......but survived with just a net loss of 1.7K .......and my poker radar seem to be functioning again.....
(later)
  Blasted WiFi connection...it flick briefly just as I was trying to call a small bet after the turn......which had given me trips......by the time it reconnected it showed me as folded.....and trips would have won the hand......but did make a couple of hands to erase the earlier losses and ended up ahead a little for the day......may play again later.......
(much later)
  Pretty average day drops and roulette, 7 drops and 1 roulette.......280K.....gains at the tables and slots but marginal.....would have been better but lost a nice pot to a better flush.........but given the same situation I'd make the same call again and that time I could win the pot ......Ace & Q on the board....I had J and he had K......well this time anyways.....packing it in for the day......

  I may have mentioned it before that I'm retired, and by using the time advantage you get my completing the hands played mission the clock as it pertains to drops and roulette is speed up, and normally I can get a combination of 9 drops and roulette.....but over slept and only got 8 today....6 drops and 2 roulette and a very low total. only 320K....but had better luck at the tables and posted my first net gain in a couple of days.....and maybe played 40 minutes.......normally I play in the morning hours......(I'm at UTC-4) and can usually find a reasonable table that fits my still......maybe my problems over the weekend had to do with just that.....weekend players.......and increased numbers......or maybe it's just I had a problem keeping my head out of my butt....no conclusions at this point

(on another note)

  Still beating my head against the proverbial wall that is "Crescent Solitaire" with 0 wins over the last 3 or 4 days.......

  I have one more drop to deal with but not until a little after 10 PM (UTC-4) and decided  to write this now, .......actually a below average day 7 drops and 2 spins of roulette......and only 420K.....and then there was the tables......actually at different times......found some tables that fit my style.......no huge pre-flop bets or all-ins......but.........couldn't catch a hand.......and when I did.......somebody had a better one......case in point after the turn the board was all clubs.......I hand 1 in my hole cards......river was a blank as far as the flush went, and the board wasn't paired so the flush was the best hand.......problem was the card in my hand was the 2 of clubs......just the way when of the other players had been beating I figured him for a better flush.....and I was right...he held the 3......and the day went down hill from there.......but the only good thing is once he made the big bet.......I folded....another time I hand a pair of Jacks in the hole, and the flop et al....blank..... 2 pair won the hand, and the board didn't pair.....oy vey......but then tomorrow is another day......

  Weird day at the tables.......found a good table early and played 18 hands and completed two missions, went back to the tables and ran into my worst nightmares:1st table: was inhabited by a flock of kamikaze & dive bombers.....2nd table: had a table captain who stake dwarfed everyone else and raises before the flop that would put everyone else all in.....3rd Table: finally I thought a table that fits my style.....only one problem......I couldn't catch a hand.....So I took my minor losses, and packed it in for the day
  I keep a running total on drops and roulette.....today 8 drops and 1 roulette....and when I did the math at days end.......it was I it should be.......first action tomorrow should have been a roulette......but the game says it's a drop......although I was credited for the drop..apparently it didn't get counted......I that happen a while back......no biggie.....

I'll talk poker later but for now let's talk solitaire.......with the exception of "Fall Spades" all the games I currently play are on "Just Solitaire" ( link is wandering around somewhere on the left......and the games I play there are below that).....50 some games are available ...but the one I've been beating my head against the most is "Crescent" I played it on another site but that game disappeared, I guess in to the abyss that is the eventual fate of all internet games.......between the 2 sites I've played it literally 100s of times maybe more, and maybe cleared it a coupe of dozen times.....and yet I'm drawn to like a fly to flypaper.....also been playing "Aces Up"......again a tough game to clear but a fast game.....but if you're looking for an "easy" one try "Clock"....but even that on will get you once in a while.......
(much later)
  I've got caught up in the game, has happened before, probably will  happen again......people accuse me of having OCD......but I don't.......I have CDO ...it's just like OCD but I insist on having the letters in alphabetical order........I'll probably log on in the morning and play my 16+ hands to speed of the drops/roulette cycle but if I should make any other missions, I do....and if not then no big deal...I do intend to occasionally play for hours.....just for the fun of it.......I have decided about buying a dealer......if I hit 2-800k roulette spins in the same day......I'll think about it seriously........but there again perhaps not.......

   Boy sometimes I should not play first thing in the morning, I just had a certifiable brain fart, I could see he probably had a straight, he was betting like he had a straight, and I stayed in the hand with trips.......oy vey.......I'm off to study the rank of hands chart one more time.....
(LATER)
  After giving it some thought, I was down just over 40k right off the bat, and in the past I would go to the tables trying to make it back, sometimes with success and  sometimes I only made matters worst.....so decided to take my lumps and start fresh tomorrow......did make 520K on 6 drops and 2 roulette..........ended the day just south of 51M ........
  I noticed today when it took longer then usual to load that the count is now 563K players......and have noticed a significant increase of players at any of the tables I play at......it really is to the advantage of my playing style when I can keep my head out of my butt
  When looking at the "company store" I saw you can buy a personal dealer......but with no FAQ I have no idea what if any effect it would have on play.......when I go to a table does  my dealer follow me there, or just on a private table ??????/.....I'm half thinking about buying one, just to see what happens.....there is this cute one in a low cut red dress......for 1.5M......at this point I would only spend about 3% of my total in faux money.......haven't made up my mind yet.....but you never know.......

  Very nice day of poker topped the 50M mark in cash, 620K at roulette, 140K in drops, and just under 70K from the tables and slots......but observed something interesting.....there is no really difference between the 2 roulette wheels, if you have a chip, the high payout is 1.6M.....all the other payouts are identical on both wheels.....the high payout on the non-chip wheel is 800K.......but if you refresh you screen you only get credited for 800K even if you hit the 1.6M.......there are still modifies that come with the cash mission, as well as experience to medal and experience points, but rarely do I take advantage of that......still will fill the minimum hands mission, and speed up the clock....but as to the others...if I get a chip in the run of play I do.......besides 50M is well quite enough.....on the other hand......

  Up and down day.....net gain.....lost about 32K at the tables, played a little looser than maybe I should have.....a few bad beats....but was playing on fuller tables and spent some "fold time" playing slots and won about 18k and another 360K on drops and roulette.....but the weird thing is I had a chip for my first spin and got 60K.......didn't have one for my second spin and got 180K on the lower wheel.....maybe the chip isn't worth it.........

  An enlightening day at the table, I had become obsessed with filling missions, if I was going to get the second chip...on days I could get two roulette spins, I tended to chase a little, and some days more then a little, but decided today to return to my tight style...didn't get the second chip.....but completed the metal mission......didn't chase once.....and had one of my best days in a long while.....have decided that I'll still first thing try to fill the minimum hands and minimum cash won  missions, and if I get the second chip I do, if I take a spin without the chip, I still have a shot at 800k......table size is on average higher and with any luck at all should hit 50M within a few days...so back to the basics....

  I must apologize to the dreaded A/K........caught it today and flopped the "nut" straight....and a very nice pot....but I still don''t trust it.... 

  Just an average day at the tables, net for the day up a little, average day drops and roulette (only one spin), but truth be told between, World Cup, and The WSP Main event on the old "Boob Tube" just limited play......and spent some time on "Just Solitaire".......added a few games to the listing of games I play there..now up to 11........but that's still just 11 of the 50 different games on that site......if you're into solitaire you should check it out.........

  Interesting day......between table, drops, and 2 roulette spins, netted just north of 1M......took one nasty beat on a big pot......3 threes on the board and I hand 2 Queens in the hole......unfortunately the other player hand the 4th three as one of his hole cards, but I thought the odds were in my favor ( silly me )......plus I was basically pot committed......and took a beating ......
  Added a new game to my list of play at "Just Solitaire"....."Aces Up"......it's a game that the lay of the cards really tell the tale so to speak, but there are some moves to be made as well......... 

  Dang I lost almost 24 hours between yesterday and now of possible game play......blasted WiFi was out again, lost 3 droops yesterday, and looks like at least 2 more this morning......but one good thing to know I had an experience mission complete but not claimed and was worried that the mission reset would reset it, but the good new  is it was still there.....so all is well.........but the experience mission does show at this time, but will probably reset overnight.....will check later.....

  I mentioned in yesterdays post that during one of the cycles of drops/roulette rather then what has always been 4 drops between a chance at the roulette wheel......second time around 5 drops before the chance at the wheel, and had wondered new deal or just a glitch......today's cycle, 3 drops (1 from yesterday)....roulette......4 drops and a spin at roulette just before I call it a night......so it seems that the 5 drops between roulette was a glitch.......

  Weird first run at the tables this morning, played the required 16 hands without ever "seeing a flop".......player who had the table covered went in on ever hand......by observation I might have won 3 out of 16 hands........not my favorite situation, eventually hand 17 all those who were playing "follow the leader"...left and the rest of us won't play and he left.....yes I did call an all-in once when I hand the table covered...and lost.......this is text book  why I don't play that way........but filled my two missions so all is well......
(later)
  I keep a running record of the times of drops and roulette, now since I've played the order has always been the same.....4 chip drops and the a roulette spin, but today I'm not sure whether it  was a glitch or a change in the cycle, because there where 5 chip drops between roulette spins.......one thing I really think that they should add to the site is a "FAQ"........

  The day has started out to be one of those days, some nice hands, but " he Demon of the river" has got me a bunch of times already today......oy vey .......but there again we all have benefited from "the Angel of the river" at times.......but in my case I thing Demon River is ahead on points........
(later)
  I have commented before on the fact that 2 of the missions...metal and experience have not stated parameters.....but though observation the more pots you win, and possibly the size of the pot positively effects your point value re: metal points.......experience really should be re-named aggression......maybe how often do I go all in........number of hands played seems to have no effect on the experience rating....but it is what it is........I prefer I more conservative approach.and playing small pot....it's just my style and I ain't changing it anytime soon......on the other hand.........
  (later still)
  I see in the "company store" that for game money you can "purchase" a dealer....as usual for this game with no explanation as to what if any use it would be......if you go to a table would your dealer be "your dealer"......I can't believe it would have any effect on the play......although I think the one in the low cut red dress is "HOT".....well for an avatar......
