   In trying to find a way to describe today's morning visit to the Poker tables....I'm reminded of an old gospel song....of course I might be remembering the words wrong...."gonna lay down a wad of cash....(boom,boom)....down by the "rivered" side"....with the exception of a couple of blind pots....not enough to even get to the 10K+ mark....every half way decent hand I had....and they were few and far between....got "washed away" by the river....twice trips and the other 2 pair both paint....just one of those days....the one that really hurt was the trip 9's I lost to a rived flush....guy went all in....I had him covered....probably should have backed off....but only 3 to a flush on the board....made the call.....and almost lost my tuckus....but it's after all gambling....but....with my track record of late....should have folded...but hope springs eternal....wild and crazy table....but then it is the weekend....sometimes I think the asylum gives inmates a weekend pass....kamikaze, dive bombers, pot pushers....would be table captains....and "the my pairs bigger" crowd show up....basically my "worst nightmare" table....and add to that with few exceptions....I was getting a whole lot of shmattah....oy vey....ergo....25 minutes played....30 hands played....left 103,600$ at the table (which pretty much wipes out the 105'K I got from a spin of the Roulette wheel I had right before I started play....didn't even leave me enough for a virtual cup of coffee)....(1/3 and 200$ on slots)
