Poker:[04:31]..Logged on to play some Poker [Super Happy Fun Time]..took an ad-less awaiting drop for 22'K..[as has become my custom ran today 27 minutes off the clock and took care of my on-line morning routine]..[04:58]..first try..no joy..immediately tried again..1K/.5K blind table..125K-max-buy-in..always..a table of 7 if you count the spinning hour glasses but with-in a couple of hands..a table of 8..which it reminded except for more than a few times when the last hand had had 4 or 5 players all-in..but within a hand or two back to a table of 8..didn't take me too long to realize it was another ultra-tight-mode day..get my 16 hands..and get out of dodge..and would have..before I had played 16 hands..table of five..4 calls and a fold out of the big blind..4.5'K in the pot..flopped 2 pair..match both hole cards..checks all round..turn..ditto..rivered full boat Jacks full of nine..first to act bet 2.5'K..got one call..9.5'K pot less the houses 5% cut..dang why couldn't one other player have called..16 hands banner..and all I  could think about was one more small/blind pot..and 10K+..stayed way too long..very few hands where at least one player wasn't all-in at some point during the hand..there was a player who was there for the  whole session..had maybe 200K +/-..when I came..and 1.4'M when I left..rivered more winners than I could count..was on a hot streak..but she was "readable" no pre-flop raise..no hand..pre-flop she had a a playable hand..no bet post-flop..she missed..a bet usually 10K+..better..get out of dodge..what am I the only peep that "reads" peep's style..well apparently on that board the answer was yes..did manage a blind pot on another short table..got my to missions and booked it..ergo..45 minutes played[72 minutes off the clock]..40 hands played..67.5 seconds/hand..2 winners..1 out of every 20 hands played..left 12,150 on the table..and a rare 0/5 with the "one armed bandit"..[another 22'K drop]..

Poker:[04:31]..to take full advantage of the drops/roulette spins..it to my advantage to take 45 minutes to an hour off the "clock"..before claiming the 16 hands played mission..and with my preferred style of play really not compatible with the recent trend of "loose" play to play for an hour which I'd like to do just isn't reasonable from my POV..therefore logged on a took an ad-less drop for 22'K..and went else ware on-line [05:13]..got on first try on a 1K/.5K blind table..the /usual 125'K-max-buy-in..from my perspective in the top right corner there "sat" the lady I've seen before..spinning hour glass..rocks glass..probably bourbon..caught in the "matrix"..and 6 other players..and except for comings and goings..it remained a seven handed game throughout my brief stay..now if we'd be talking a three to five handed game..then there is the probability of me make some pots as I did yesterday..but in a seven handed game..and a table dominated by not one but 3 or 4 pot-pushing/splashing..any-two-carders..Ace or pocket pair splashes..and most hands half the table all-in..the probability drops to..well what's less than zero..the one player blew my mind..ever couple of hands he'd pre-flop splash the pot to the tune of 15'K to 20'K..and if he'd get a re-raise..he'd fold..??..anyways..stayed out of the way as much as possible..got my 16 hands..played some slots..and made my exit..[pause..2nd drop of the day..22'K..previously..a roulette spin for 880'K [no chip..rats]..ergo..23 minutes played [65 minutes off the "clock"]..20 hands played..69 seconds/hand..left 14'K on the table..seven goes at the "one armed bandit" for 3.6'K..net loss: 10.4'K..acceptable..not want I'd like..but under the current prevalent style of it is what it is..

Poker:[04:41]..I decided to "shake" things up today..I usually do a few routine things around mt room before logging on to play poker..this morning logged right on and took an awaiting drop [s/ad.] for 22'K and took care of the off line routine..[04:56]..took my "chair" at a 1K/.5K blind table with my /usual max-buy-in..[125K]..now for the entire session except the few last hands..every hand was either hands up or a three handed game..even when there were three at the table..on many hands it was heads up after the flop..so it felt like you were almost constantly in the blinds..besides that three handed I loosen up a little and play more hands..for the first half of the session the majority of the flops you could see for a check/call of the big blind..there were a few pocket Ace or any pair bets..but other than that a "friendly game"..won a bunch of pots all of the small/blind variety..[pause..took a spin on the roulette wheel and hit second best for 330'K]..but the second half of the session there was a parade of players..but almost every time there was one or two hands heads up before the 3rd player arrived..and most times the fates brought a pot-pusher, an any-two-carder..there were a plethora of pocket Ace or pair bets..and numerous bouts of "My Pairs bigger than Yours' is"..and I was flat not catching..all the result of this action was that one of the players amassed a stack of over 200+K and proclaimed himself "Table Captain" and pre-flopped raise 5K on almost every hand..and I never had pocket cards worth a call..hung in for a couple of hands [last few hands a table of four]..got to the button..rags in the pocket..another 5K bump.."El Capitan" on my immediate right..and I bounced..ergo..45 minutes played..77 hands played..just a tad over 35  seconds/hand..17 winners[most in the first half of the session]..1 out of every 4.53 hands played..left 20,150 on the table..[no slots]....
Blackjack 21/Video Poker Live: have already taken first drops on both games...after 19:00 daily bonus time on Video Poker Live..will play my late night session to make 3 hands straight or better to pick up the "Big Wins Bonus"..and maybe sometimes during the day..a few hands of blackjack....
