(+12*F....-3*F w/wind-chill....light snow....wins out of the Nor/Nor/East....at 12 mph)
   On the early side of a normal start of play for the day....wind-chill is going to be in the minuses or single digits all day....so no walk for the MadTrollie....and off to Poker....
   Took a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table....and what do I find but a kamikaze and a dive bomber....check the stats on the kamikaze....the dude had played about 2K hands more than I have....okay....he was in and out....always the min 25K buy-in....the 16+ hands played banner came down....but decided to stay....was catching decent pocket cards....so he wins a few pots in a row....gets over 100K in this stack....and starts playing a style more or less like I do....????....just before I left...he dropped below 100K in his stack and again with the pre-flop all in routine....I guess the old adage "Different stokes for different folks" applies here....2nd or 3rd hand I played got a pair of Jakes....in the small blind....ran the "clock" down and decided to call....big blind called....flop had a pair of Nines....check...big blind goes all-in....called....now in for about 50K....and turned the 3 Jake....and a very nice pot....along the way built another "house"....and trips a couple of times....lost a few pots as well....looked up and hand played 25 minutes....ah....I'll play to 30 minutes....check the time had played 36 minutes....(guess I was just having to much fun)....ergo....40 minutes played....left with an extra 50K....and 57$....(no slots) off to Blackjack 21....
   An all to typical run of cards at the Blackjack 21 table....a 2/3 table with nary a "ghost" in sight....the usual shmattah with a decent hand or two...but with the all to common results....ergo....10 minutes played....16 hands played....6 wins....1 other 21....1 push....4 dealer busts....down 20$ (as/usual all bets 10$)
