[+1*F....sunny....winds out of the N/N/E at 2 mph]
   Maybe a tad of a late start today....but got a head start on the day....awoke during the night....and knew I had a drop waiting on Poker....so took the drop and went back to bed....
   Took a "chair" at  1000/500 blind table....caught the very end of a probable "end of the session" showdown....when that was over and those  players had gone....table settled down....and I got to play may fav style of Poker....small ball....only rarely any pre-flop raises....and with few exceptions only pot building raises....and a short table....and most hands 3 or 4 players at the table....and for a change was hitting a reasonable number of flops....and it turned out the the turn was kind to me as well....no big pots to be won....but than not big pots to be involved in only to get rivered....did make few of those calls where it was a real chance that I was beat....but the "price was right"....won one, lost one, and split three....seemed like it was bargain day at the 1000/500 blind table....most of the players who came and went had a buy-in of under 50K....[125K max buy-in]....and for most of the session I was the "high stack" at the table....made my share of trips....straights and a flush or two....but no big pots won or lost...."small ball" just the way I like it....for some time I was so focused on the missions [16+ & 10K+] that I'd leave the table when the banners fell....have quit that....looked up and saw I had played for 40 minutes +/- and decided to play one more hand....was on the button and looked down on pocket Tens....looked at the clock again....+/- 50 minutes....in the small blind....Jack/Nine unsuited got in for a call....flop 4 to a straight....turned the straight....new player at the table....flashes "great hand" and I get a "hot-dog" throw at me....it was Lady K....in the past we've played a lot of hands at the same table....really good player....ergo....61 minutes played....77 hands played....left with an extra 15,900$....but really had a "blast" at the table....and probably played the best poker I've played in quite awhile....
