(+41*F...."feels like" +32*F....cloudy (rain/snow predicted)... w/winds out of the S/S/E at 18 mph)

   Awoke just after mid-night this morning and took drops on Blackjack 21, Poker, & Video Poker Live....and off to play some Poker....

   Took a "chair" at a 1000/200 blind table....have decided that at least most mornings it's a better fit for my game ( not today but more later)....and besides just have had no luck getting on a 200/100 blind table anyways....and have quit trying....caught an above average number of decent pocket cards and won enough small pots to get complete the 10K+ mission....but one of those days when decent hole cards paired or should I say 2 paired with a nice flop....got rivered by a better two pair....and lost the other to a runner,runner (turn & river) flush....besides just to much pot pushing and "my pair is bigger than your pair" at  the table....which is okay with me if I'm catching....which I wasn't....ergo....14 minutes played....18 hands played....left 69,125$ at the table....it happens....on the flip side....4/6 on the slots for 1,900$....net down 67,225$ and off to Blackjack 21....

   My session at a Blackjack 21 table started out what has become IMNSHO too common....first two attempts found me at a "ghost" table...fled s/playing a hand....&....finally a table of 2 which varied for most of the session from 3 to 5 players....pretty typical run of cards for me....10 times I had "soft" or "hit-able" hands....with basically mediocre results....did make an other 21 once and a win on a doubled 20....both on 2 card 11's....but for the most part my usual collection of shmattah....but with not the usual results....off to the "tale of the tap"....25 minutes played....35 hands played....17 winners....2 blackjacks....1 other 21....1 double (a win)....1 push....&...(a dealer w/"bust-itis")....12 dealer busts....Up 30$....(dealer showed signs of recovery from the "bust-itis" so I left)....longest extended play for me in quite a spell....
