   A windy cold day here....+1*F....-18*F w/wind-chill....and an early start....didn't sleep well....but off to the morning sessions of Poker and Blackjack 21.....
   Usually on a Saturday when you take your "chair" it's at a full or nearly full table....but today only a table of 3 (including me)....maybe partially because of the early start....but that usually isn't true....and sat down at a brawl ( major pot pushing ) between the other 2 players....but on a short table....the blinds just keep coming....the brawl escalated into a few rounds of pre-flop all-ins....then a table of 2...then 3....never more than 5 at the table....but the blinds....because of that played more hands then usual....got rivered a couple of times....and despite leaving with less than I brought to the table....did manage to leave with the 10K+ cash mission (that's based on "gross" not "net") & the 16+ hands mission....ergo....13 minutes played....18 hands played....down 6,875$ (1000/500 blind table)....had 7 slot spins....that went un-used....considering the short table....and the speed of play....just didn't have the time....and off to Blackjack 21....
   I'm not completely sure whether or not I took a "chair " at a Blackjack 21 table or went down the proverbial "rabbit hole"....looked like a table of 3....but one was a "ghost"....normally the ghosts are mere silhouettes of a man or a woman (dang I'm going to have that Queen song stuck in my head all day)....but this time it was of a player....a good player....I've seen before....make me  wonder whether my avatar is stuck somewhere in the matrix....but most of the time there was another "warm" body there....made several attempts to leave....but kept going back to the same table....can't believe that was the only table....all hands were either 2 players or head to head....ergo....10 minutes played ( but with all the attempts to leave hard to say actual time played)....credited with 17 hands played (but the "math says" only 13)....1 push....4 dealer busts....down 20$....but up on the frustration meter....
