[34*F...."feels like" +21*F....rain....winds out of the s/s/e at 24 mph]
   Blustery day....now the body thinks it got up at the usual time....but the clock due to the switch to "Daylight Savings Time"....says I slept-in an extra hour....and off to Poker....
   Took a "chair" as/usual of late at a 1000/500 blind table....w/ 125K max-buy-in....with a goal in mind....a wild table....thanks to a player with the worst case of "Any Two Card Syndrome"....me thinks I've every seen.....big pre-flop bets....most hands....big raises post-flop....and most hands all-in at some point....I lost track of how many times he busted out and returned....but I hand that goal in mind....so persevered....he had busted out again....I'm not in the blinds....and he wasn't back in the game yet....and I'm looking at a Six/Four unsuited in the pocket....a hand I routinely don't play except if in the blinds....but decided to play it....well the blind raccoon found a big dumpster....I flopped a straight....and the money started flying....and I kept calling....basically a nothing board....except if you had pocket Six/Four....and a very nice pot....was about to leave....had completed my goal....and looked down at pocket Kings....and a 3rd on the flop....hit a short run of good pocket cards and some nice flops....and looked up to see I had played long enough....ergo....60 minutes played....79 hands played....left the table with an extra 191,575$ I hadn't brought with me....both missions in hand....[no slots]....oh and the goal....start of play 24,951 total hands played....end of play 25,028 hands played....I wanted to reach the 25K+ hands played mark....
   Just an interesting aside....I've been playing poker slots for just over a month....and lately I've been getting spam mail offering me free spins to play at online casinos for "real money"....not for me....but I wonder how they knew I was playing slots....yeah right....
