    Normal start time this morning....+45*F...."feels like" of +39*F....and the forecast has changed again....no rain...."postponed" until tomorrow....so off to another day of online gaming....and as always....that means a first run at a Poker table....
   Took my "chair" at what turned out to be a table with an extremely aggressive player....and a "small stack" player as it turns out....(oops....1000/500 blind table)....around 50K in "her" stack when I took my chair....(but online you never know....avatar: female....name: female....but for years my avatar was a parrot with a yamaka wearing a pray shawl....and I was known as "The MadTrollie".....so you never know....said parrot can still be found wandering around on the left sidebar)....not every hand but most hands "she" raised....sometimes just a pot builder....and others a pot pushing raise....but I've got to say "she" was very good at it, or catching decent pockets....or just lucky....hard to say....but when I left "she" had built "her" stack to around 100'K+/-.....but in a few brief lulls....made a wheel on a hand with the way the play was won't have got to see it....Three/Five suited....in the big blind....no pre-flop raise....board gave me 3 to the straight...turn: the Four....river: the Ace....nary a raise....except my small  raise after the river....also won a small pot on the last hand I played....pocket Jacks....and a third on the flop....but not a table I wanted to stay at....ergo....13 minutes played....17 hands....up 1,290$ (no slots)....and off to Blackjack 21....
   And danged if I didn't "sit down" at the &^%$?? ghost table with the two corpses again....but one other live soul so stayed....and it remained that for the time I played....the usual mix of The Good, The Bad, & The Shmattah"....but the dealer had about the same....ergo....8 minutes played (other "live" player busted out....and being only 2 minutes short of my usual 10....didn't want to play "heads up"....and for 2 minutes just didn't bother to look for another table)....14 hands played....6 wins....1 blackjack....1 push.....3 dealer busts....up 5$....
