Poker:[04:14]..picked up a drop[s/ad.] for 22K and the usual side trips to FB & "Just Solitaire":[05:03]..1K/.5K blind table with my typical 125K-max-buy-in..table[s] size[s] varied from "heads up" to briefly a five handed game..still running afoul of the "3 hand rule"..3 times..:[stats]: 25 minutes played..74 minutes off the "drop clock"..31 hands played..6 pots won..1 for every 5+ hands played..left 17,325$ on the tables..but won 1,800$ at the slots..net loss: 15,725$....
   I only lost one hand that I had any serious chips involved..hand four to a straight after the turn..river card gave me the straight..and put 3 to a flush on the board..yup gave the other guy a flush..I swear the  river has it in for me..was down at that point about 35K..but made some nice pots after that and got about half of that back....
  Now I had gained the 10K+ mission on the first hand I played..and got the 16 hands mission before I got kicked from the second table..in the lobby..claimed both missions..and decided to go back out and play..glad I did..won a couple of decent puts and after one got a drop-down informing me I had achieved the 26th level of experience..and 330K bonus..well as has happen every time before..the bonus wasn't paid..
   My experience rank is low for the number of hands I've played..experience points are scored when you risk chips..the more you risk the higher the points..and it doesn't matter if you win or lose..you still gain points..just look at the experience level of a kamikaze..or a pot-pusher or any-two-carder..the more hands you're in at the reveal..the more experience you gain..just not my style..the slow play/trapping/small ball game I play just doesn't gain me the big experience points and I'm okay with that....

   Got on the first table..3 handed game..second hand..pocket Fours..hand already called the blinds + a 2K pre-flop bump..and again with the "3 hand rule"..second table..never more than a four handed game and that was only a couple of hands..many hands "heads up"..and I was catching..most pots I won were on either a pair or two and 1 on a high card..but that is the nature of the 2 or three handed game..did win the biggest pot I won when I rivered trip Tens..most hands were "friendly" only really loose play came from a brief visit from a kamikaze..and a "coffee breaker"..one of the "ladies" I've played with many times before..who will splash the pot from time to time..[got teddy bears and a shark..but no high heels]..and again in the middle of a hand which I already had money in the pot..got hailed by the "3 hand rule"..??..I would have loved to stay and play..was getting a bunch of "good looks"..but..figured if it happened twice it was bound to happen how many more times..I do hope the game gets it fixed..but until they do will soldier on and play the drops/roulette/missions side of the game....

Poker:[04:16]:..off to pickup the awaiting drop[s/ad.] for 22'K..[off to FB & "Just Solitaire"]..[04:49]..1K/.5K blind table..w/125K-max-buy-in..:[stats]: 23 minutes played..61 minutes off the "drop clock" 28 hands played on two tables..9 pots..1 out of  every 3--1/3 hands played..left with an extra 7,225$ I hadn't brung with me..[no slots]....[edited 19:06]....
   Table #1: was basically a "friendly table"..most every hand you could see the flop for a check/call of the big blind..a couple of hands there was either a pre-flop raise when a player caught a pocket Ace or pair..but generally only an occasional post-river raise..and for a change I was catching..mostly a high pair with a kicker or 2 pair..didn't make a quality hand or a big pot on the first table but was "holding my own" as far as my stake was concerned..was in the small blind already had my 10K+ and had just checked and was a couple of hands short of my 16 hands mission..called the big blind..first to act checked..and was gone on a "3 hands violation"..??....
   At that point if I had already hand my 16 mission in hand..I most likely would have just called it a day..but off to another 1K/.5K table..play here was a little looser..and I didn't stay in the very many hands..but did take a nice pot on the only quality hand I made..a straight..got the 16 hands..decided to play until I'd taken an hour off the button..did and decided to play to the button..never got there..same as before..middle of a hand I was playing.."3 hand rule"..??..dang I wish they'd get that  fixed....

   The day started off with a "bang" or rather got "kicked" during the play of my first hand at the table.."three hand rule"..??..the other two times were different..twice the game "froze" on me..now that's happened before but I usually get the "reconnect" blurb..not this time..both times a hand or two had been played..could tell by the movement of the "button"..so not sure exactly why..but got kicked no the less....
   Wasn't catching much atall but had managed to full boat[rivered] and a couple of high pairs all small blind pots..and the 10K+ mission..but decided to stay and play so more time off the clock..just be fore I got booted for the last time..King in the hole..flopped the pair..turned the trips..and a halfway decent pot...
   On the bright side..if I had the game running in a tab/window..but not "up" the clock would "stall" and you needed to reboot to get it "right"..apparently that been fixed..if you run the game in it's own window..even if not "up" the clock keeps running....

Poker;[04:41]..an awaiting drop[s/ad.]..22K house money..off to FB and "Just Solitaire"..[05:32]..1K/.5K blind table(s)..125K-max-buy-in..:[stats]: 28 minutes played..80 minutes off the "drop clock"..three tables..3 kicks for the "3 hand rule"..??..never once let the game "fold me"..38 hands played..2 pots..1 out of every 19.5 hands played..left 55,600$ on the tables..[no slots]..[16 hands mission gained and claimed]....
   Just a bad day all-round..the probable "glitch" got me three times..and the trend to loose play continued..and when I was able to play a hand..at times managed to catch semi-decent hands..but with the exception of 2 small/blind pots [only 6.5'K net..no 10K+ mission]..I got beat at least 4 times on rivered cards..a couple of times on better "kickers"..and the time my pocket Queen paired with a board Queen..high pair and I was "hoisted on my own petard "[link]..another player had slow-played pocket Kings..well after the many times I've caught another player with that tactic I guess turn-about is fair play..oy vey..just no my day..but with the multi-tables..it was hard to keep track of how much I had lost..maybe if I had know I would have quit earlier..but then again I wanted the 10K+ mission..also knew the first "drop" was a roulette spin..hit for 154K so the loss is covered....

[[note]: "Video Poker Live"..have a silver egg available @20:10..and probably my first look an the "golden egg"..will post later in the footer]....
Footer[added 5/2]

:[20:23 UTC-4]:...have taken the first "golden egg"..each time you need to have taken five "silver eggs" to activate the "golden egg'.amount..

and the other two "eggs" as well varies from one time to the next..but my first impression is you will gain more "house money" with this style..I'm not going to worry about the "bronze eggs" every 15 minutes..but the "silver eggs" every 3 hours..that were I'll concentrate my efforts....

:[09:39_4/16/20]:....A new wrinkle has been added..and as/usual..no explanation..no tutorial..the old drop system had been replaced apparently..every 15 minutes you have a chance for a "bronze egg"..the pot changes but so far I've got "drops" in the 100K+ range..every 3 hours..a chance at a "silver egg" first one over 1M..and after you've collected 5 "silver eggs" a chance at a "golden egg"..no idea what the time frame is as of yet..but I'm guessing 24 hrs..??..and I assume this arrangement will eliminate the current "daily bonus"..but with no explanation or tutorial will take a few days to get a handle on it..but it promises to yield a lot more "house money"..and I may re-evaluate my choice of tables and size of my wagers....

Poker:[04:47]..collected the awaiting drop[w/ad.] for 44K and as with my custom of late off to FB and "Just Solitaire" to run time off the "drop clock":[05:32]: 1K/.5K table w/125K-max-buy-in..
:[stats]: 26 minutes played..76 minutes off the drop clock..4 tables..4 "kicks"..35 hands played..[pace of play[?]]..5 pots..1 out of every 7 hands played..left with an extra 24,711$ that I hadn't brung with  me..[most of it  from the last table]..7 goes at the one-armed bandit netted and additional 1K....
   Play on all four tables was extremely loose..more than usual..managed 3 blind pots and was just shy of my 10K+ mission when I got "booted" from the 3rd table..[did have the 16 hands mission however]..thought about giving up..however..4th table..played for the longest time..more hands there than the 1st three combined..very loose play but did get a "read" on two of the other players..rivered trip Sixes and a halfway decent pot..had the 10K+ but decided to play to the "top of the hour"..in the big blind..called a 2K raise..continuation bets after the flop and turn..no straight/flush..there was a Queen/Six on the board..3 handed game..river was a Six..I checked..to my immediate left a 9'K raise..okay my read told me he might have the Queen but not the Six..in similar situations if he had the Six he would have raised a lot more..next player called..but he had called every raise on every previous hand..figured the odds were in my favor..first guy had two pair..Queens/Sixes..sorry..I had pocket Kings/ & the board Sixes..and the first decent meal for the blind raccoon in days..got to the big blind and got "kicked" for the 4th and last time..well until tomorrow anyways....

Poker:[04:39]..took the awaiting drop[w/ad.] for "44K house money"..[off to FB & Just Solitaire]:[05:17]..1K/.5K blind table..125K-max-buy-in..:[stats]: tables: 3..kicks: 3..14 minutes played..52 minutes off the "drop clock"..19 hands played..pace of play:..3 pots..1 out of every 6-1/3 hands played..left 14,500$ on the tables..[no slots]..[kept better track of the $s this time..loss is reasonable]....
   What's to say..made two pair twice and rivered a straight..3 small/blind pots but enough to get my 16 hands and 10K+ missions..I must confess to being reluctant to call or raise any significant amount..even more than /usual because of my preferred ultra-tight/small ball/slow play/trapping style..in fear that I'd get "kicked" from a potentially winning pot for a bogus "3 hand" violation..the final "kick" came after a hand I had called a small raise....
   That  being said..I've never made any bones about the fact that I play both parts of the game..ergo..as long as I can get my 16 hands mission and get the 2x clock started..and hopefully the 10K+ mission as well..it is my firm intention to say as of old.."I'm going to hunker down and ride out the storm"....

Poker:[04:14]:..had a roulette spin awaiting me when I logged on this morning and spun the wheel for 198K[of to FB]:[04:55]..1K/.5K table..125K-max-buy-in..:[stats]: 21 minutes played..62 minutes off the "drop clock"..29 hands played..left 26,100$ on the tables..yup..5 in total all exited by the "rule of three"..but made 2.3'K on 5 5 goes at the "one-armed bandit]....
   Again I fell afoul of the "didn't play 3 consecutive hands"..got to the first table..very first hand played..had already called the big blind..and got kicked to the lobby for not playing 3 consecutive hands..[the Mad One shakes his old grey head]..and that time and every time thereafter..I found myself at an empty table..sometimes with players from the last table..but again I at a series of tables..managed to get my 16 hands and 10K+ missions and end up with a net loss that I cannot explain by any rational means....during the session(s) I never once let the game "fold me"..always used the check/fold button..??....
   But I will continue to play and take my "lumps"..I just hope that whatever the problem is they get it fixed..sooner rather than later...
