Poker:[04:14]..the game is back..unfortunately the "three consecutive hands not played rule" is also back and "wreaking havoc"..picked up the awaiting drop(w/ad.) for "44'K house money"..off to start today's postings  here..:[04:33]: four tables visited..all 1K/.5K blinds..all brung 125K-max-buy-in..different tables but all very similar.."heads up" to never more than a five handed game..but mostly a three handed game..and I just wasn't catching..only made two quality hands..a straight and a flush..but all my winners were of the small/blind variety..never made a hand when there were a decent amount of chips in the pot..during play never let the game fold me..and had no dis-connects/re-connects..but got bounced by the rule of three all four tables..twice in the middle  of a hand that I had chips in the pot..I had hoped that while the game was down they'd have fixed the problem..ergo..I have resigned myself to just consider what I think of as a "glitch" as the "new normal"..and deal with it..ergo..:[stats]: 35 minutes played..54 minutes off the "drop clock"..53 hands played..10 winners..1 out of every 5.3 hands played..left 27,500$ on the tables..picked up 1,200$ on 5 goes at the one armed bandit..since another 44K drop(w/ad.)
[[note]: since the "glitch" appeared..sorry the "new normal"..I've been playing a little looser..calling the blinds on lesser pocket cards..I think that what I'll do is go ultra-tight..only call decent pocket cards..and just see what transpires]....
