@05:43....logged in to Poker....and picked up the awaiting drop for 21'K....no ad....and filled out my session  work sheet....
@05:43....took a chair at a 1K/.5K blind table w/ 125K max-buy-in in-tow.....4 hand game....2 others that played very much like me and a pot pusher....after a few large pre-flop raises....with no takers....although I did make a couple of pots....including a full house....he left and  for awhile it was a decent table....in fact the other two players that were there in the begin were there almost until the end of the session....I've been playing about the same time every day for the last few days....so I'm starting to see the same players over and over....which is a good thing....the more hands I see another player play the easier it is for me to get a "read" on them....unfortunately it goes both ways....an-any-two-carder who usually used continuation bets....I called both the pre-flop and post flop raise twice....and both times....he just checked after the turn....I won both pots....never did see a true kamikaze....but did have a new player go all-in on the first hand he played....lost the pot....but I checked out his pocket cards on the reveal....pocket Sixes....the board paired twice....both higher than a pair of Sixes and he lost on the "kicker"....a low pocket pair deserves a call of the blinds....or even a call of a min-raise....but a pre-flop all-in.....not for me....never got rivered but because the raises for the most part were min/small raises....I was able to "chase" a little....and actually won four pot on a rivered card....and once on a turn card.....but a "major league" pot pusher arrived and I saw my modest gains start to dis-appear so I mage my exit....ergo....61 minutes played....80 hands played....45.75 seconds/hand....18 wins....1 every 4.44 hands....left with an extra 11,762$.....played for the most part in my /usual tight, slow play style....[no slots]....

   @06:13 took a "chair" at a 1K/.5K blind table with the /usual 125K max buy in....a 3 handed game that for a short time was a fairly decent table....barring when one of the other players had a pocket pair or an Ace in the hole....and a huge pre-flop raise came....otherwise you on most hands could see the for just a call of the blinds....wasn't really catching....but then neither were the other two so won a few small/blind pots....one left....and one arrived....and I knew what would happen next....have been at the table with him before....a pain in the tuckus kamikaze....even if the rest of the table folds on every hand....he'll just keep on with the pre-flop all-ins....never made a call....but the other player did....had pocket Kings one hand....but at that point I would have had to go all-in to call....ended up the pot was won by a rivered straight....after way too long and way too many blinds he left....a brief appearance by another kamikaze....and then in his wake....a big time pot pusher....and I was just flat not catching....and on the rare occasion that it did have decent pockets....I'd have to call a 3'K or more pre-flop raise to see the flop....missed it most of the time....but did a couple of time have 4 to a straight or flush after the flop....once I had four to both + 3 to a straight flush....paid to see the turn....got butkis....huge raise....refused to chase....which proved to be the right call....in each case the card wasn't there....probably should left sooner....but keep looking for that one hand which never came.....did flop 1 straight....played to the end....dang....split pot....ergo....80 minutes played....132 hands played....36.4 seconds/hand....24 wins[all small/blind pots]....1 every 5.5 hands played....left 58,791$ on the table....[no slots]....the only bright spot[s]....already 3 drops@21'K....&....a roulette spin@315'K....and the knowledge that you will have days like that....

big blind....and all-in to my ....only about 10K which I had covered....now if you've read this blog before you know how much I hate calling all-ins pre-flop....but left....raise of the table folded....and I'm looking down on pocket 10's....made the call....and flopped the trips....but after that only a couple of blind/small pots....took a look at the clock....and was gone....ergo....100 minutes played....143 hands played....42 seconds/hand....27 winners....1 out of every 5.3 hands....left with an extra 4,225....[no slots]....

   @06:17....kind of a little bit of a late start....watched an ad. [which I always do].....and took a 42'K drop....recorded my start values on the work sheet I always use when playing Poker....or any of the games I play....I am after all a stats nerd....and got on a 1K/.5K blind table with my /usual 125K max-buy in and found myself on a table of three....and one was down to their last 500$....and for the next couple of hands it was heads up....over the next few hands became a table of 5.....and most hands were either a 4 or 5 handed game....
   I caught some nice hands earlier....but any decent sized pot I'd have a hand after the flop....and twice beaten by river cards and once by runner/runner....was down about 25K....and then Seven/Six suited....flopped  trip Sevens....turn the house....and rivered the Quads....which got me almost back to my 125K buy-in....and then went on a hot streak....won a bunch of hands....but not big pots....it except with a couple of hands there were no really big pots....basically a small ball table....which is my kind of game....very little pre-flop nonsense....could see most flops for a call of the big blind....and most raises after the flop, turn, and river were min-raises....
   The only really huge pot was when 2 of the ladies at the table....both experienced players got into one of the wildest rounds of "My pair is bigger that Your pair....I was on the button with a high two pair....first to act big post river raise....2nd a re-raise....I took one look....river not only put three to a straight but three to a flush on the board....so i took my 2 high pairs folded and watch....well all good things finally ended after several rounds of raise, re-raise with one all-in and the other with maybe 10K left....well it actually more like "My Flush beats Your straight"....was getting close to the hour and I was planning to leave at the button....I problem....pocket cards were King/Jack suited....called the blinds....flopped four to the straight....turned the King high straight....and an Ace came on the river....next hand....didn't pay attention to the pockets just folded and left....ergo....
62 minutes played....73 hands played....51 seconds/hands....18 wins....1 every 4+ hands....I'll take that as an average any day....left with an extra 33.180$....[no slots]....

   Logged on @05:46....it's the weekend....and except for a couple of times the last couple of weeks....long delays in finding a table....and most times a full table of 8 or even 9....had a roulette waiting and hit the wheel for second best 315'K.....I  have a worksheet that I set up to track the session....and took some time to record my start bank....and start hands values.....
   @05:47....tried for a 1K/.5K table....and selected the 125K max-buy-in....I never use auto-re-buy or auto-top-off....and to my great surprise immediately found myself "sitting" in a four handed game....there were during play a few heads up hands....but never more than five at the table....and the majority of the hands were a three or four handed game....
   For the greater part of the game there was very little pre-flop nonsense....most flops could be view for a call of the big blinds....only exceptions were a couple of raids by kamikaze....all short lived and beaten off....or when somebody had a pocket pair or a singleton Ace....and more often than not all the raise got was the blinds because the rest of the table folded....or got beat by a rivered card or a better pair....
   Except for a cold spell that started just after the mid-point of the session....and last far too long [IMNSHO]....I was catching some decent hands....except for briefly at the very beginning was never really down in the stack....and despite the fact that the majority of my wins were small/blind pots....and a few decent pots....never hit the big pot....was only rivered once....had a Tens full of Aces full house....the trip Tens were on the board....a small raise....after the river....knew quad Tens were possible....but the price was right so made the call....yup....Quads....but a very enjoyable session....I love playing small ball poker....ergo....90 minutes played....127 hands  played....43.5 seconds/hand....30 winners....1 out of every 4.23 hands....took a extra 18,450$ that I hadn't brung with me....[no slots]....

   @06:07 tied a 2K/1K table....got the whirling message....so logged off the site....logged right  back on and took a "seat" with my 250'K max-buy-in....a table of 4 players....virtually no delay & a short table....on a weekend....after the experiences of the last few weeks hard to believe....
   I must have "sat down" right after a massive battle....because two of the other players had about 1'M chips between them....and the 3rd had 125'K....so the next 20 hands or so turned into a showdown between the two....one got busted and the other left and after a couple of hands heads up....again a 4 handed game....from there until I left....never more that 5 players or less than 3....
   I did manage to win a few small blind pots....but the pace of play was quick....just too many blinds and missed flops....during this time a player arrived who randomly would splash the pots with huge bets....and sometimes  he had a hand and some times the pot was won by high card....and I stayed away from getting involve....I was down right around 25'K +/-.....small blind Queen/Four suited....saw the flop for just a call of the big blind....and flopped trip Fours.....the aforementioned player [he was on the button] raise 100'K....one look at the board and there was little there that  could beat me so I put him on "trying to buy the pot'....called....turn was a blank....he went all in....looked at the board still pretty sure I had him beat and called....pot was right around 300'K....river put three to a flush on the board but the trips held up....he didn't even have a pair....it had been an Ace bet....won a few more hands....no major pots....but twice rivered straights and once a house....so the river wasn't out to drown me today....[pause....drops to be attended too]....ergo....61 minutes played....90 hands played....15 winners....1 out of every 6 hands....left with an extra

   Logged on @05:39 this morning and took a drop for 21'K....tried to find a table both at the 200/100 blind table & my preferred 1K/.5K blind table....off to check FB and play some "Fall Spades"....
   Back at it at just before @05:51....tried for both the aforementioned tables with no luck....and then a 2K/1K table and on the 2nd try got on a 2K/1K table with a max-250'K-buy-in....not my first choice but I wanted to play....8 handed game....at first not too chaotic....won a couple of hands early on....but that soon changed....a rookie [less than 100 hands played]....and a player with right a round 2K hands played tried and succeeded in recreating the "Gun Fight at OK corral" poker style....and drew many of the players into the havoc....almost every hand there were multiple all-ins....and the bodies of busted players were all around....eventually after at one point both of them were over 400K in winnings....they ended up buried on "Boothill"....[aka: they busted out]....in their wake....another player on a hot streak accumulated in access of 1'M chips....and started pushing his "weight" around....and I rode into the sunset....but first....won a nice pot on a rivered two pair, another on a turned nut flush....split a pot on a full house....basically broke even on that one....and a decent pot on a turned King high straight....but for the most part just "sat on the front porch of the saloon" and watched the chaos....ergo....75 minutes played....53 hands played....81.82 seconds/hand....4 winners....1 out of every 13&1/4 hands....left with 16,050 extra....plus another 600$ from a 1 for 5 go at the one armed bandit....

   @05:32....logged in to play some Poker....took a drop.....watched an ad....well actual it played and I ignored it....but it doubled the drop....42'K "house money".....and immediately started the tactic that had worked yesterday....alternating between trying to get on a 1K/.5K table and a 200/100 table....no joy....check FB....play some Fall Spades and several tries with no results....
   @06:37....after one last failed attempt at both tables [65 minutes having elapsed]....tried a 2K/1K table and got right on a table, and a five handed game....should I have tried that earlier....probably but I a crusty old codger who's stuck in my ways.....anyways....except right at the end  of the session was a really decent table....very little pre-flop nonsense....and if there was a raise it was maybe 2.5'K at most....but I just wasn't getting a whole lot of good looks in the hole....and what few I got missed the flop or a couple times had four to a straight or flush post flop and very unfriendly turns or rivers....4 handed at this point....King/Five Suited in Spades....in the big blind....first to act pre-flop bet 2.5'K...decided to call....flop and I was four to a King high flush....again the 2.5 raise and  again I called....and danged if the turn wasn't the Ace of Spades....check....2.5 raise....smooth call....river put 4 to a flush on the board....but the board never paired....so I had the "nuts"....check....8'K raise....and I min-re-raised [2.5K].....I found out later he had made the flush as well....player went all-in....I covered and it was briefly a 3 handed game....won 3 more pots....all small/blind pots....and a big time pot pusher arrived. big pre-flop bets....saw my stake shrinking and took my leave....ergo....29 minutes played....40 hands played....43.5 seconds/hand....4 wins....1 out of every 10 hands played....when I did the math to check my winnings....I double check the results....I've been playing far too much Poker....because my first re-action to  the results was "dang I've got an open-ended straight draw"....left with an extra 3,456$....[no slots]....

   More of a typical start time this morning....logged on @05:43.....had a drop waiting....21'K...no ad.....immediately tried to log on to either a 1K/.5K blind table....or a 200/100 blind table....thinking if I missed on the  former....I could at least play 16 hands on the 200/100 table....get the mission....and get the 2x clock started....no joy either table....and off to check FB....play some "Fall Spades" and take drops on "Blackjack 21" & "Video Poker Live"
  @06:02....tried again....1K/.5K....no joy....but success getting on a crazy 200/100 blind table w/ my 25K max-buy-in....8 handed....well at least most of the time....quite a few comings and goings....and more than one spinning hour glass....although few pre-flop all-ins....they were quite common almost every other hand after the flop, turn or river....played ultra-tight....but paid to see a couple of flops and a turn or two....just never caught the right hand....ergo....19 minutes played....17 hands played....67+ seconds per hand....no wins....left 2,200 on the table....but left with the 16 hands played mission....and the 2x clock is running....and immediately started trying to find a 1K/.5K table @06:26.....no joy....
   @06:52....over an hour after my first attempts....took a "chair" at a 1K/.5K table....with my 125K max-buy-in....again a table of 8 players....pretty much the same crazy play....except if anything more rounds of "My pairs bigger than Yours'".....and a one or two of those were won on high card....but most of the craziness was after the flop....unless a player was on "tilt" or had a pocket pair or Ace....one of the two hands I won on a turned two pair was IIRC the only blind pot that anyone made in the whole time I played....but before that....Nine/Five suited.....small blind....got to see the flop with just a call of the big blind....probably would have folded if there had been a raise....flopped 2 pair....and turned the house....and  decent pot....but just too many calls and missed flops....ergo....60 minutes played....50 hands played....72 seconds/hand....2 wins....left 18,650$ on the table....picked up 600$ from a 1/5 run at slots....spent the better part of the 21'K "house money....but got the 2x clock and the chip....about the chip....hit roulette for 63'K.....bottom of the wheel....oy vey....
