Dang, current temperature -4*F....w/ -14*F wind chill....before I retired I'd have spent part of my day in conditions worse than this....but I was paid well....off to take a "chair" at a Poker table....a wild and crazy table....but a friendly table....be for the flop at least....rarely a big pre-flop raise....but after the flop the big raises where common....as were all-ins after the flop....but there's good news and bad news there....you can win big....you can lose big....but I need good hands to play that game and I only caught two....if I don't have a "made" hand or a high pair or 4 to a straight or flush after the flop....I don't chase....was only in two hands....50/50 calls....first hand lost 2 pair to a river flush....lost about 30'K....second hand....flopped a pair of Aces and had a 10 kicker....another play a large raise....he could have made the same pair but there was a Queen in the flop as well....my "gut"and the fact that I had observed him betting big on any pair...call....another raise another call....and a call on the river....a win....now up 40'K....not my usual style but I occasionally will play what my "gut" tells me to....and today it was right....ergo....20 minutes played....18 hands played....up 40,175$....(no slots....had 5 spins but decided to save them for another time)....and of to take a chair at a Blackjack 21 table....
If you've read this slagheap I laughingly refer to as my blog....you know I'm a stats nerd....before I play Blackjack 21....I always record my start stats (do the same for Poker)....one of the stats I record for Blackjack 21 is my total wins....which this morning were "2936"....I looked twice....that number rang a bell....with the 2 letter prefix....that was the telephone number of my home phone when I was a kid....some 65 years ago....(a 4 party line (link))
Took my "chair" to play some blackjack....except for 3 hands....every hand was a 12 to 17....shmattah....and oy vey....even when I had a hit-able hand....the result save once was a 12 to 17....an 18 that was a push....never won a hand unless the dealer busted....ergo....10 minutes played....first hand table of for....after that all hands table of 5....1 push....4 dealer busts....down 40$....
