[+19*F....sunny....winds out of the south at 3 mph]
   I'll sitting here with my granola bar, banana and coffee trying to make some sense out of my morning session at  a 1000/500 blind Poker  table....[as/usual 125K max-buy-in]....and am coming to the conclusion that trying to make sense of it is a lost cause....
   "Sat down" at what varied from a table of 7 all the way down to a few hands of "heads up"....seemed like the number of players change every other hand....but on average a 4 or 5 player table....right from the start I was catching quite a few nice pocket cards....but couldn't hit the flop....and the turn and river were no help either....for example I must have had an Ace in the hole a dozen times....and never paired it....well that's not exactly true....if I had stayed in the pot I would have made a pair of Aces on the river on one hand....and lost to a flush....played 21 minutes before I won a hand....flopped trips....turned a house....a decent pot....over the next 20 minutes did win a couple of blind pots....one with a  high card....at 41 minutes looked in the pocket and found a pair of Kings....flopped the 3rd....turned the 4th....and a decent pot....over the next 20+ minutes....again a couple of small pots....looked at my stack and I was down a little over 25K....just two many blinds....too many calls on good whole cards with no positive results....Jack/Nine suited in the small  blind....flopped trip Jacks....turned the house when the Nine paired....and the table captain[oops forgot to mention his presence]....pushed the pot....on the river bet enough to put me all-in....my first re-action was here we go again....another bust-out....but then....a quick look at the board....no chance of quads or a straight/flush....maybe a better house....or maybe it's just the captain being a bully....couldn't walk away from the house....went all-in....and a very nice pot....don't know what he  had, didn't care....ergo 81 minutes played....106 hands played....took an extra 53,870$ off the table & 1,900$ from a 3 for 5 session at the slots....but just a crazy session of Poker....except for one two pair that lost to a better kicker....and a river straight....when I was already out of the pot....would have lost to a better straight....only made 3 "real hands"....but walked away with some extra faux money....
