   Logged on to play some Poker this morning @05:25.....an awaiting drop [no ad.] for 22'K....and off to play some Poker....found a 1K/.5K table @05:26 with my /usual 125K max-buy-in....A table of four....one of the players had a stack of about 1.5'M chips....and was not afraid to splash the pot at any time during the play of a hand....and the few times I did get a chance to play a hand....I either didn't hit the flop...or I'd have decent pocket cards but the price to play was just to dang high....after he left the board was taken over by a couple major league pot pushers....one never seemed to lose....I finally tumbled to the fact that he was using the "auto-top-off" function....in the 40K+ hands and many hours I played I don't think I've seen anyone use that more than a hand full of times....just before the end of the hour....I finally got enough hands in edgewise to get my 10K+ mission in hand....and despite I was down a bunch....decided to play to 100+ hands played....At that point the board changed again....almost no pre-flop raises, and only small continuation bets....and decided to play on....started a modest come-back....and then lost the only hand I was in....not a big pot but a decent one....pocket Kings....flop gave me trips....and turn put 3 to a straight on the board....river was a blank....called a 15'K post river raise....thought it was a 50/50 call....guy had the straight....oy vey....Just one of those days....two many blinds....too times willing to pay to see the flop....if I did manage to make a hand there were no chips on the table....and the one time there was....bot beat by a better hand....ergo....125 minutes played....170 hands played....44.1 seconds/hand....24 winners....1 out of every hand played....left 87,438$ on the table....[no slots]....however....since I quit play....another 22'K drop & just before I sat down to write this entry....a roulette spin for 330'K....I may not always have much success at the tables....but being retired I can take full advantage of the game within the game....and as for the tables....there's always the next session....
