(10:16 UTC-4)
Because of the Doc's appointment never logged on until just before 10:00 local time (if you're interested in the results it's posted on "Troll54 Where Are You?" link on the left)....First trip to a Poker table....a den of kamikaze, pot pushers, and a would be table captain....in other words at typical 200/100 bind table....some decent hole cards from time to time....but never hit the flop....19 hands played....16+ mission completed & claimed....2x clock engaged....down 2,900$....Did get in one Crescent game before I left for the the Doc's appointment....an 86/104 w 4 completed foundation piles....
(11:17 UTC-4)
First run Blackjack 21....11 minutes played....first 5....1 win/4 losses....down 30$....17 Hands....6 wins....1 push....5 dealer posts....down at total of 40$....last 12 hands I only lost 10$....not bad but those first few hands were the killer....
(13:06 UTC-4)
Riddle me this....How does a dealer or any blackjack player....draw or in the dealers case has to draw....at least 10 times in 18 hands and only bust twice....I sit here totally farmisht....I'm not angry....actually I'm totally amused....but after all it's only a game....and it's not like I'm betting the rent money here....so here are the stats, ( and ant chortles and remember I carry a stick) 10 minutes played....18 hands....2 wins....1 split (lost both hands)....2 dealer busts....lost 140$....now you understand when I say this just isn't my game....I know that there is a house's edge....but sometimes it feels more like a cliff....?....
Three more games a dog, and two decent games....87/104 w/5.....88/104 w/5....
(14:40 UTC-4)
I guess it takes me longer then most to learn my lessons....Third trip to Blackjack 21....now I can't say that I got back all I had lost....but I put a small dent in it...besides both sessions were 10 minutes and 18 hands played....they were like night and day....18 hands played....10 wins....2 Blackjacks....1 push....9 dealer busts....up 60$....I've been trying to find a pattern in the game that I could exploited....I'm starting to believe that there isn't one....one of the problems is that in a casino setting the game is a lot slower....more players at the table....no quick clock to make your decision....and no opportunity to just observe play....in a casino you could stand behind the table and watch....so I guess my conclusions are that I will never find a pattern in the game....probably because there ain't one....conclusion play the game if you want to but don't expect to win with any regularity....and besides....if you're retired like me you can make more faux money from drops and roulette than you can lose....provided you don't bet to wildly....Just a workman like game of Fall Spades....7 hands 526 pts. w/ 6 bags....winner....

Net gains are down today not only because of the late start, but also didn't hit the roulette wheel on either game for one of the large amounts....60K on Poker, and 400$ on Blackjack 21, but my health is more important to me than a couple of online games....silly of me I know....
