   Around a usual start time [05:59 UTC-5]....but got distracted.....other things were of greater importance....so I'm late posting this morning....starting tomorrow I will be switching to "UTC-4"....no I haven't moved....but at 02:00 tomorrow morning the USA switches to "Daylight Savings Time" and we set the clocks forward an hour....
   For a change got right on a Poker table....usually a delay on the weekend....took my place at a 1000/500 blind table....with my 125K max-buy-in....just in time to witness an end of session death match between players....when that concluded it was replaced by a decent table of for to 6 players....no really big pre-flop betting....mostly small pots....and the occasional raid by a kamikaze or two....won a few pots....but again with the problem of just not catching a whole lot of decent pockets....and when I did the flop was particularly un-friendly....despite a small dent in my stack....actually played some decent poker....case in point....not in the blind....the button on my immediate left....King/Nine suited....got to see the flop for just a call....flop came Jack/Jack/Jack....checks all around....turn was a Seven....again checks all round....river was a Nine....and I built a house....player to my right bets 50K....had been at the table for awhile....seemed out of character....I win or split unless he has a pocket pair better than my Nines....or....I folded....he had the 4th Jack and was slow playing the hand....something I would have down if I had had the Jack....if he had bet less it might have worked on me....???....he did however "catch" one of the short stacks....but I see that all the time....somebody has the "NUTS".....and they over bet the hand....and sometimes end up with just the blinds....????....ergo....50 minutes played....60 hands played....left 4,275$ at the table....but took 800$ from 2/7 at the slots....played well....just wasn't "catching"....
