[05:06]..up and off to play some Poker..picked up the awaiting drop for 44'K "house money"..filled out  my session worksheet and went looking for a 1K/.5K table..and @05:08 put my 125K-max-buy-in on the felt..[a brief pause while I picked up another 44'K]..pretty typical mid-week table of late..some hands heads up..briefly a 6 handed game..but for the greater majority of the hands was a 4 or 5 handed game..a brief visit by a kamikaze and a few "coffee break" players..a pot-pusher or two..and also an any-two-carder..new player to the table..first hand and all most every hand there after a 1K min-pre-flop raise..and then usually a 1K continuation bet throughout the hand..player came in with around a 50K-buy-in..a blank avatar..but just over 100 hands played..a rook..so during their stay..for all intents and purposes we were at a 2K/1K table..now I was catching and not catching..most of the time I wasn't catching..but when I did..I was making a couple of  quality hands..had won a few pots but every time I caught a good hand there was no money on the table..and the wear and tear of calling pre-flop raises..even 1K..and I was down around 25K but I thought that if I caught the right hand at the right time I could "catch" the rook..in the small blind..King/Eight suited..called the 1K raise..flop cams King/King/Eight..yes!..I check..he raised..I re-raised 2.5K..decided to not slow play it..2 calls..turn..check..he re-raise 3'K...I re-raise 2.5K..river..raised 2.5K..he went all-in [other player had dropped out]..call..and the blind raccoon had a decent meal..and the rook was gone never to return...and I netted about 50K on the win..but after that the table went ice cold..only won two other pots..and the arrival of another pot pusher..but 1 wanted 100+ hands..so I stayed..ended up leaving a few K on the table..got caught one last time in the blinds..and left..85 minutes played..104 hands played..49+ seconds/hand..14 winners..1 out of every 7.43 hands played..left 5,399$ on the table..16 hands/10k+ missions completed..[no slots]..

[05:28] as/usual logged on first thing this AM to play some "Poker"..watched an ad. and pocketed 44'K..off to find a table..[05:29]..put my 125K-max-buy-in on the "felt" of a 1K/.5K table...I made it a table of four..table size varied during my stay from a couple hands "heads up"..to briefly and I do mean briefly a table of seven..first hand at seven 4 players were all-in..and then it was a table of 4 + 3 spinning hour glasses..but for the most part a table of 3 to five players..and a bit of every style of play..some experienced players...one other with 40K+ hands played..and a known to me pot-splasher..not every hand..but when he did bet pre-flop..he'd bet big..a brief stay by a "table captain"..who got caught and shown the door..[not by me..but I did applaud his passing]..he returned and behaved..I was both catching and not catching..but than I never do catch as much as I would like..but I did catch at the right time more than once..nothing more than a decent pot..but the blind raccoon although he didn't find a dumpster..did have a few nice snacks..within the first 10 hand..pocket Aces..any-two-carder..min-raises...pre-flop..post flop..turn..river..blank board...I min-re-raised..a call and my 10k+ mission...a hand or two later..pocket Sevens..flopped trips..rivered the Quads..same betting as above..and then a smaller pot but flopped four to the nut flush..rivered it...another raised 5'K..[had two pair]..I min-re-raised [3.5'K]..and he ran away..after that a house, a couple of straights and another pair of Aces...but the last part of the session the table went cold..at least for me..an nth* pot-pusher and a pot-splasher arrived..&..I made my exit..ergo..90 minutes played..112 hands played..48.2 seconds/hand..19 winners..1 win/5.9 hands..left with an extra 33,075$ I hadn't brung with me..and 1K from 13 tries at the "one armed bandit" [also again with a couple of reconnects..cloud of FB outages more yellow/orange today]

   Logged on to play some Poker..took the awaiting drop for "22'K house money" and went looking for a "chair" at a 1K/.5K table..and some "felt" to place my 125K-max-buy-in on..and access problems again..[05:30]..finally got a "chair" and my arrival made it a three handed game..It blows my mind..a delay in getting a table..and then a table of three..but a decent table at the beginning..almost no pre-flop nonsense..just some small ball poker..and many of the hands were "heads up"..and I wasn't really catching..new arrivals now a four or five handed game..and an any-two carder..but only min-raises..won a couple of decent pots..but lost the biggest pot I played for...pocket Nines..flopped trips...board paired Jacks on the turn and Tens on the river..and lost to a better house..thought I might have but it's hard to fold a house..had started to make a come back..when a new player arrived..an nth* pot-pusher and a "topper" to boot..and soon after the dude with just a symbol for a name [mentioned him before]..another pot-pusher..and I just wasn't in the  mood to endure that today..so booked it..ergo..43 minutes played..55 hands played..46.9 seconds/hand..13 winners..1 out of every 4.32 hands..left 10,450$ on the table..[no slots [used them all yesterday[..may put my "head in the noose" later and play again..

[21:01[last night]: Took the roulette spin that was late because I lost  track of time....330'K....and just "under the wire" and didn't have to re-enter my WiFi password....I have access to a password protected WiFi....but it requires a password every 8 hours....a pain in the tuckus....but there again....it's included in my rent....so I don't pay extra...
[05:21] Rolled out of bed and online to play some Poker....took the awaiting drop for 44'K and as/usual paid no attention to the ad....and started looking for a table....dang....access issues again....tried the lower three blind tables....and wandered off and played a game of "Fort"....the on-going issues with access are getting tiresome....
[05:42] After repeated attempts finally got on a 200/100 blind table and put my 25K-max-buy-in on a table of eight...the typical comings and goings....but most hands were six to eight handed....get the 16 hands mission....and play 30 minutes....if you get the 10K+ then even better [I didn't]....at first a kamikaze fest....but settled down....just couldn't catch....never won a hand....won't have dropped that much but tried to fold when a large raise was made....had a minor tremor [see]....and hit call instead....dang....oy vey....klutz move....played the 30 minutes and ran....ergo....30 minutes played....25 hands played....72 second hands....no hands won....left 20,600 on the table....2x clock engaged....[no slots]....will look for another table later....access permitting....
