[+39*F....cloudy....winds out of the w/s/w @ 2 mph]
   Got up, logged on to the net, then to Poker....the usual....1000/500 blind table....125K max-buy-in....a table of 4....which after 2 or 3 hands was a table of 3....and several of the hands were "heads up"....pace of play was frantic...I found myself folding with reasonable pocket cards just to "catch my breath" as it were....won a bunch of hands....all small and/or blind pots....but both of the players left and were replaced by a kamikaze and a wing-man....I already had made some nice hands....among them quad Six's.....was up a little....and had both 16+ & 10k+ missions in hand....and the mere thought of playing a three handed game with a kamikaze and his wing-man was repulsive....so I beat a haste retreat....ergo....16 minutes played....25 hands played....grab my buy-in + an extra 2,125$....and departed....will at least consider another trip to the "tables" later in the day....
