It looked like the start to what has become an all to typical quest for the +16 mission....again....a 200/100 blind table, again a melee between pot pushers and kamikaze....but even more intense then usual....kind of reminded me of a typical game of "Gamma World" back in my RPG days....for awhile looked like I had just come to play some slots (went 2/6 and picked up 1,200$)....then on the hand on which the 16+ drop down would appear....Jack/King suited....and no pot pushing....no kamikaze....the flop....King high straight....and 3 to a flush....turn....yup....river....and the flush....really nice pot....then peace was restored....and I for a while was high stake on the table....loosen up a little....played more hands....a couple of decent pots....a couple of blind pots....and decided to play awhile....at the 30 minute mark....a flight of kamikaze and I was gone....
30 minutes played....33 hands played....16+ and 10K+ missions completed....+21,460$ at the poker table....+1,200$ at slots....22,660$ into the bank....

Just witnessed the best run of cards I've ever see at Blackjack 21....unfortunately the dealer's not mine....I had 17 to 20 5 or 6 times....won once....10 minutes played (played the gap between a drop and another on Poker)....19 hands played....(short table....a few hands head to head)....2 wins....2 pushes....2 dealer busts....down 100$....
Two games of Crescent....one fizzle....and I nice game....98/104 w/ 6 completed foundation piles....only 1 tableau pile remaining....9 to King of Diamond....if the 9 was on top....but the 10 was...oy vey....
(11:33 UTC-4)
With the earlier experience on Blackjack 21....I made a command decision and did not play the gap....got two roulette spins coming up after 13:00 local time....decided whether or not to put my head in the noose again....Two hands of Crescent....one fizzle....the other 99/104 w/ 7 foundation piles complete....2 tableau piles left 9 to K of Diamonds....wrong order....
(13:36 UTC-4)
Decided to take another trip to the Poker table....again a ridiculous mix of a pot pushing table captain and assorted kamikaze and dive bombers with no lulls....20 hands....never a whiff of a decent hand....left 1,900 on the table for the show....
Despite my last trip to Blackjack 21 I went again....I'm remembering the old phrase " Look up he said, things could be worse, so I looked up....and things got worse....10 minutes played....15 hands....1 win....1 push....1 dealer bust....down 110$ (The Mad Trollie just shakes his head)....If I was a suspicious person....?....
(16:36 UTC-4)
Third trip Poker....200/100 blind table....30 hands played....left 1,700$ on table....table was a mixed bag....a bit of pot pushing....a dash of my pairs bigger then you pair....a sporadic kamikaze....and a few lulls....won a blind pot, and two small pots....Fall Spades....7 hand game....one 14 over bid....one 15 over bid...."They" failed a nil....and were set 3 other times...."WE" 538 w/ 8 bags...."They"....-55 w/ 5 bags....
(20:46 UTC-4)
Four more Crescent games....one dog....3 decent games....78/104 + 1 completed foundation pile....79/104 + 4 completed foundation piles....91/104 + 4 completed foundation piles....and a winner in just a workman like game in Fall Spades....

I noticed today that Blackjack 21 was loading slower than usual....and because of that I caught the line that shows current number of players....138'K....but that got me to thinking so I check back in my archives and noticed that on 9/22 that same line listed 172'K players....I don't know how many players I've see during play with stack around 5K at one point and few hands later exit with 0....now because I'm retired, and can take full advantage of the drops and roulette and because I usually only bet 10$ per hand....the current pasting I've been taking I can survive....but for most their only option is quit or buy chips....and how many peeps are going to spend money to lose....now I realize that there's a built in house edge in any blackjack game....but....I have researched the game of blackjack in general online....and theory is that at a casino, blackjack has your best odds to win....my style is not to beat myself....but I can't see any style that could consistently win against the dealer's play I experienced the last couple of days, now I realize that sometimes you can hit a bad streak in any game of chance but....?....but being a glutton for punishment....and having a large bank....I'll keep on keeping on....
