[+21*F....+13*F w/wind-chill....cloudy....winds out of the n/w at 6 MPH]

   Typical late winter's day....but spring might be around the corner [knock wood]....warm temperatures starting Sunday and following....

   Took a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table [have given up even trying to find a 200/100 blind table]....typical 125K max-buy-in....6 player table and a couple of big stack....and for a few hands was a decent table....won a couple of small/blind pots....enough for the 10K+ mission banner to show itself....and then came the kamikaze and I discovered I had found a table of closet dive bombers....the aforementioned kamikaze crashed and burned two or three times but then got on a win streak....folded a few times....the kamikaze now with a decent stack got into a "my pairs bigger than your's" with the big stack at the table which ended up with the kamikaze winning....which set off a period of pure chaos....if not pre-flop....then soon after there was an all-in....almost every hand the whole table was all-in [save for your's truly....I refuse to play that game]....dang....one hand was won on a high card....eventually the kamikaze had a stack of over 900K....but the battle raged on and eventually he busted out....if I had had some popcorn it would have been a interesting show to watch....I love a good demolition derby....but only as a spectator....after that the table calmed down....won a few pots....lost a few....one hand....best hand of the session...had a Jack/Nine suited....not in the blinds....just a call....flopped two pair....a small raise ahead of me....smooth call....turned the 3rd Jack....another small raise....another smooth call....thought about a re-raise but decided to "trap"....a nothing card on the river....no straight no flush possible....a sizable raise in front of me....thought about a re-raise....probably should have....but just called....and a nice pot....ergo....50 minutes played....54 hands played....okay so I only left the table with an extra 850$....[no slots]....but on that table....I'll take it....

   And off to another day of online gaming....
