Did I ever mention I hate short tables at Poker....well I do....even on a good table....there a pain....blinds come too fast....but usually there are spots where I can get good pocket cards and maybe hit a flop....but morning table was for the most part 3 to 5 players, and a nest of kamikaze....and also one bout of "my pair is bigger than your pair"....and normally I just look on it as the price I have to pay to complete the 16+ mission....but not today....had pocket pairs 3 times....and suited connectors a couple of times....but never got to play them because the chaos that happened every hand....and because of the arrivals and departures that are common with an infestation of kamikaze and dive bombers....was stuck in the blinds far to many times....even at a 200/100 blind table....16 hands played....2,100$ left at the table....

The lunch I had with my sibs and their mates turned in to a very enjoyable 6 hours of a great meal, coffee, and good conversation....didn't play as much as usual today....
(Postscript II)
I have been honest from the start that blackjack just isn't my game....but I'm a stubborn old cuss and it's hard for me to admit that I can't figure out a way to "beat the house".....but some observations....most casino blackjack games are based on four to eight decks that are shuffled together and then hands are dealt from the top....it's why counting cards will work to a greater or less chance of the player winning more hands....but the time frame of the game....makes the attempt to count difficult at best....and besides I convinced that each hand starts with one "virtual deck" and the cards are picked by some form of a random generator....and that each hand starts with a fresh deck....the very design of the game is to give the house the edge....but if I'm correct and the hands are totally random there is no way to predict the next hand, or the next card for that matter....it's hit and miss....can you score a big win at the table....sure....but it's just as likely that what you'll end up with is a big loss....on the other hand the money ain't real....faux money....so if you like the risk then have at it....I'll probably keep betting my 10$/hand and keep trying to find an edge....probably never will....been then I did say I was stubborn....whether at blackjack or poker....I prefer to play small ball....just the way I am....but probably would play much until I have that 250'K in the bank
