   Typical wake up time....&....a routine log-in to play some Poker....the usual 1000/500 blind table....the usual 125K max-buy-in....and then was expecting the usual weekend delay on finding a table but got one right off....now weekend tables can be pretty crazy....but this one was...."meshugeh!!!".....first few hands two players were in what reminded me of a school yard melee when two bullies squared off....unfortunately the rest of the table joined in and the melee became a full-fledged riot....almost every hand ending with the whole table all-in....except me....did make two pair in one of the all to infrequent lulls....Jacks&Nines....but would have had to go almost all-in to protect it & folded....against one of the main perps....he had Jacks&Threes....but it wasn't worth it to find out....later I checked my stats....I was on my 15th hand in the big blind with two Kings in the hole....looking for the third....one of the instigators of the riot had departed [aka: busted out] and the other sat the hand out [he'd leave on the next hand]....but the damage was down....the table was infected....by the time the betting got to me....the other 4 players were all-in....and I could have covered all bets for about 50K....started to call but then....nah....time to depart....folded....the 3rd King appeared on the flop....and the board paired with Threes on the turn....and trip Threes on the river....hand was won by trip Threes and a kicker....but I already had my "hat & coat".....next hand the 16+ banner unfolded....so I folded and was gone....just wasn't to be....just wasn't in the mood to "ride out the storm" in hopes of a calmer table....ergo....20 minutes played....6 to 8 players at the table....never won a hand....and the cost of the 16+ mission was 13,500$....[2/5 & 400$ at the slots]....truth be told....really was in the mood to play....but my style just won't work on that kind of table....might play later....but it is the weekend....and I might end up on a worse table for my style of play....although it's hard to imagine one that could be worse than that table was....
