   @05:12 logged in to play some Poker as/usual....took the awaiting roulette spin and hit 2nd from the top of the wheel for 315'K "house money"....and that did play a factor with a couple of decisions I made later....@05:15 found a "chair" at a 1K/.5K table with my /usual 125K max-buy-in....and I think that room was right next to the furnace that creates the fire for the abyss....or stated another way your typical weekend table....only a brief appearance of a kamikaze....but that went almost unnoticed because on any given hand 1/2 the table might be all-in at some point in the play....I swear I must have stumbled on a meeting of "Pot-Pushers-are US"....and two major ones stand out....major pains in the tuckus....table range was a couple hands "heads up" to a 7 handed game....but average was a table of 5....To make matters worse....I was catching quite a few good looks in the pocket....but you rarely could see the flop for a check or call of the blinds....anywhere from a min-pre-flop raise to....well....25K and up....and I was at times paying the raise and except for a couple of times missing the flop or winning the rare blind pot....never won my 3rd hand until just be for the hour mark and the 10k+ mission....normal would have left then....but hadn't played 100 hands yet....ah "315'K house money"....played the 100th hand....down around 65'K....decided to play to the button and leave....big blind....pocket Ladies....major pain #1....10K pre-flop....ah "315'K"....call...he kept pushing....I kept calling....and I was down only about 15'K....and the blind raccoon had a meal....small blind folded....button pocket 2's....major pain #2....min-pre-flop raise...called....flopped the trips....a push there and after the turn....called both....no push on the river and the raccoon got a small dessert....and I was in the black....played a few more hands and left....ergo....90 minutes played....113 hands played....47.8 seconds/hand....10 wins....1 every 11.1 hands....took an extra 14,375$ from the table....[no slots]

[From:"The Tables"]
   Poker: I've often said that it's not how many hands you win....it's about catching the right hand at the right time....out of 113 hands today....I had it happen twice....and left the table with more chips than I brought to the table....as much as I enjoy the Poker....I also enjoy the game within the game....and being retired and living my own schedule I'm able to maximize the drops/roulette spins to my advantage....and I survived a weekend table....I prefer to play a small ball....slow play...trapping  style....and the wild pot splashing that is typical of the weekend is not conducive to that style....so I go into ultra-tight mode....and try to minimize my losses....and with a bit of luck....the blind raccoon will find an occasional dumpster....
