   Either I was lazy or rather my body was....slept later than/usual....and a late start getting to my morning Poker session....
   As/usual on the weekends of late....had trouble "finding" a table....so when I finally took a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table....there were three players with huge stacks....apparently had been playing for some time....a lot of pre-flop raises....ranging from a little pot building to "out & out" pot pushing and even an all-in or two....but I just geared down....and decided to play only good pocket cards....fluid table so many big blinds....I'm reminded of the old adage "Even a blind raccoon will eventually find a dumpster".....well maybe not that old of an adage....even with good pocket cards on the few occasions that I did hit a flop....it was always bottom pair....would have made one straight....but huge bet after the flop....at which point I only had 3 to the straight....would have had to go all-in....folded....and runner/runner....given the same situation another time....I'd make the same call again....I rarely chase....unless the "price is right".....but the old adage was right to some extent....I did win 2 pots and split another...."blind pots"....although a net loss....did manage to collect both the 16+ hands & 10K+ cash missions....but not a great day at the table...."My mom told me I'd have days like this....but not everyday"....ergo....30 minutes played....39 hands played....left 20,350$ at the table....
