   In the usual start time slot....how be it in the later part of it....+16*F....+1*F w/wind-chill....winds out of the west at 15 mph....partly cloudy....but a walk-able day none the  less....And off to another day of online games....
   Took a "chair" a a 1000/500 blind Poker table....didn't even try a 200/100 blind table....if I can't get a table during the week....why bother on the weekend....from the get go not a bad table....but in the time I played the character of the table changed many times....basically to many characters came and left....pot pushers, would be table captains, a rare sighting at a 1000/500 blind table of a kamikaze....and a "pot thief"....not much action....mixed board....and a big bet after the river....trying to "steal" the pot....watched for awhile....but if he had a hand he'd bet earlier....only when he didn't have a hand....he tried it with an all-in which I had covered....a nothing board except for an Ace....(Ace/King in my "pocket")....and a nice pot....but earlier in the session....the 16+ hands played banner came down....hadn't won a pot yet....and what few decent hole cards I had....missed the flop....was in the big blind....nothing....small blind....flopped to pair on a Jack/Nine in the hole....real nice pot and decided to extend....ergo....33 minutes played....38 hands played....left with 59.610$ that I didn't bring with me (no slots)....and off to Blackjack 21....
   First attempt at a table for some Blackjack 21....1 found myself at the "ghost table"....and despite the presence of a "live" player....left without playing a hand....took a "chair" at a table that varied from 3 to 5....had a bunch of hit-able hands....including 4 soft hands....couldn't "hit a lick"....but then neither could the dealer....ergo....11 minutes played....17 hands played....8 wins....1 blackjack....7 dealer busts....up 5$....( recently the number of players has been right around 60K +/-....but hadn't seen the number recently....saw it yesterday....players now only 28'K....????....)
