   Start time a little on the early side this morning.....conditions outside....temperature is -10*F....w/ wind-chill -27*F....winds 8 mph....not a good day for a walk....but a great day for some online gaming
   Another failed attempt at a 200/100 blind table....I have resigned myself to the fact that I must play at the higher tables....of course with the absence of the 200/100 blind table....the 1000/500 blind table is the "lowest table....anyways....took  a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table....and except for a couple of last gasps all-ins pre-flop....a good table....a couple of incidents of pot pushing....but on the whole just to friendly pot building....on the one pre-flop all-in....I was in the big blind w/ pocket Kings....had the player covered....but....have done it before and got the pockets cracked....folded....and dang it all....the 3 King came on the flop....oh well....did win a couple of decent pots....on two pair and a flush....must have been distracted when the 16+ hands played banner appeared so played 20 minutes just too be on the safe side....ergo....23 hands played....average number of players 5....up 5,087$....which includes a rather dismal turn at the slots....1/11 and 600$....and then off to Blackjack 21....
   Took my "seat" at a Blackjack 21 table....and again the table was haunted ( another "ghost" player....never bets....never leaves)....but the clock for betting for the ghost still runs....so the presence of one does slow play a little....not really a bad thing....players at table on average was 3....and the ghost....10 minutes played....the usual mix of the good and the shmattah as far as hands good....the good news is although the dealer didn't bust much....he did make a few 17's....10 minutes played....13 hands....4 wins....3 pushes....2 dealer busts....down 10$....
