Got off to a normal start time....took my "chair" to play some Poker....a table straight out of some of my worst nightmares....the usual list of crazies (in my not so humble opinion)....I'm well aware that the "money" is meaningless outside the game....but....the worst of it was a pot pushing table captain....and I couldn't catch a hand....when I played baseball/softball...many years ago we say that a player who had trouble catching the ball had "stone hands"....lately I just can seem to catch a hand....and if I do another player has a better one....or I get "rivered" by the miracle card....did "chase" one hand to the turn....but had to....I flopped....4 to a straight....4 to a flush....and 4 to a straight flush....zilch....on the turn....folded....winner had flopped to pair....had been part of a 3 way split pot on a straight....4 to a straight on the board....what are the odds that 3 players at a table would all have a 7 in the hole....the 5th card....was about to leave....and found an Ace/Jack unsuited in the hole....got in for a call....and lightning struck....the flop was 10. Queen, King,....I had to go all-in to defend the hand....but covered all my previous losses and a nice "bonus"....and was gone....which proves the old saying...."even a blind raccoon will occasionally find the dumpster"....ergo....26 hands played....up 15,670....w/ 16+ & 10K+ missions in hand....4/7 on Slots....for 23,400....hit for....200$....400$....7.5K....&....15.3K....for a total of 23,400$....and then it got weird....
"sat down" for some Blackjack 21....looked like a table of 3....turned out I found the glitch table....2 "players" who never bet but never left...."the ghost table" would have booked it after the first and but a real player came....played a few hands with 2 at the table....player left....and so did I....hit play....same table....but on the second try found a 2/3 table....which became a me and the dealer table....and I was gone....12 minutes played (?)....21 hands....10 wins....1 blackjack....1 other 21....6 dealer busts....up 25$....

Second trip to Poker for the day....surely the longest session in recent memory....played for 1 hour and 45 minutes....crazy table....finally flopped trips that became a full house and a very nice pot....I loosened up some....played a lot more pots.....won some pots....split some....and lost some....got rivered a couple of times....but for all but the aforementioned first few minutes a good table....really enjoyed it....ergo....87 hands played....20,008$ left with me....and for the first time in a long time completed the experience mission....

In the way of explanation as to why I played so few "Other Games" today....to start between the 2 sessions of Poker....I spent over 2 hours....as opposed to the usual 30 minutes or less....add to that....had errands to attend to....probably another hour and a half....I would usual spend on "Other Games....
