(-5*F....-5*F w/ wind-chill(?)....clear....calm)
   Boy that doesn't happen very often up here....I live in the lee of Lake Ontario....very rare to have no wind at all....early start....and off to the tables....
   First hand after I took a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table....in the big blind.....looking at an Ace/Seven....short table the whole session with few exception usually 3 to 5 at the table....and a rarity for this table....no pre-flop raises....preceded to flop two pair and won a decent pot....on the 3rd hand new player arrived and an extend game of "my pairs bigger than your pair" ensued....except they didn't wait to see if they even had a pair....big pre-flop raises on any two cards....but no pre-flop all-ins....but more often than not....somebody was all-in by the river....oy vey....I don't know if it was a good thing or not....but I just wasn't catching decent pocket cards....did win a couple more pots in lulls in the insanity....did flop two pair and hung with a raise....more pot building than pot pushing....rivered one of the ugliest "houses" I've ever  built....3's full of 4's....but it "stood" long enough for me to win my best pot of the day....short table....lots of blinds....ergo....40 minutes played....48 hands played....left with 2,475$ I hadn't brought with me....and another 1,700$ off 1/6 at the slots....&....both 16+ & 10K+ missions and of to Blackjack 21....
   Except for 2 hands....every other hand a pure shmattah ( 12 to 17)....and I never "hit" on a 12 to 17 unless it's a "soft" hand....had 4 "hit-able" hands....3 misses and the last hand I played 2 card 11....and doubled....and got a 10....besides that had 1 hand of 20....ergo....10 minutes played....12 hands played....5 wins....1 other 21....1 double....3 dealer busts....down 20$ (as/usual all bets 10$)
