(+49*F...."feels like" +42*F....mostly cloudy....winds out of the s/w at 18 mph]
   As is my custom took a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table....the usual max buy-in of 125K "placed" on the table....what turned out to be a pretty decent table....(ah there was one ghost there drinking a beer....)....number of players ranging from 4 to 7 (not counting the aforementioned ghost)....as is my custom I check the stats of the other players....and discovered with few exceptions most had played more than 10K hands....so a very experienced table....there was the occasional pre-flop raise....and some expected pot building....but only seldom wild betting....one "any two carder" was there briefly....but a great table....lost trip Kings to a flush....saw the 3 cards to a flush on the board....but the price was right so made the call....had a straight rivered by flush....but again the price was right and made the call....had pocket Aces...hit an Ace on the flop and a decent pot....built two "houses"....all in all played my kind of Poker....but the blinds will take a piece out of your stack if you play long enough....never really won a monster pot....ergo....70 minutes played....82 hands played....took an extra 1,100$ with me when I left [no slots]....
   Did make a stop at Blackjack 21....decided to play for the first time in a couple of days....hot and cold dealer....never more than three players and for 4 hands it was "heads up" with the dealer....who was hot and cold....could have made some head way against him....except for two blackjacks....got mostly shmattah....ergo....10 minutes played....21 hands played....8 wins....2 blackjacks....1 split....1 double....4 dealer busts....down 30$....still haven't made a decision on whether to play or not....but most likely will just play once in awhile....
