[+27*F....+10*F w/wind-chill....winds of of the W/S/W at 33 mph)
   A tad of a late start....except for the high winds the predicted storm missed where I reside....however apparently they got hit pretty hard to the south of us....and off to Poker
   Unlike the last couple of days I got a "seat" at a table right off....very fluid table....lots of comings and goings....different players....different styles....and a bit of  everything....with the exception of no kamikaze in sight....some pot-pushing....and some "my pairs bigger than your pair"....I even got involved in one of those battles as well....turned out we were both wrong....turns out we both had Ace high straights....a huge pot....but a split pot....and I actually played for the most part some good poker....a bunch of decent pocket cards....hit a few more flops than I have been....but I left the table with a sour taste in my mouth....as they would have said back in the "day"....sometimes I can be such a putz....I had a Jack/Nine suited in the pocket....and the flop had a Jack/Nine in it....unfortunately all 3 were Clubs....another player keep making small raises....and turn and river were useless cards....he went all-in....I had him covered....and made a real bone head call...I wasn't "pot committed" at that point....made a knee jerk reaction call....and you guessed it he had 2 Clubs in the hole....I played decent Poker for most of the session....save for one bone head call....sometimes I can be such a dummkoph....oy vey....ergo....41 minutes played....51 hands played....left 58,765$ at the table....but "it 'tis what it 'tis....&....ain't what it ain't".....did manage to complete both 16+ & 10K+ missions....and still love playing the "game"....and know sometime on a future table will remember my bonehead call....and probably make another bone head call....just part of the game....
