Poker:[04:12]:..pretty normal start time..had a roulette spin awaiting and it the 2nd best for "'330K "house money"..[off to a brief stop at  the FB group "The Farthest Side" where I'm a moderator & to enter {Yesterday's} results..(see above)]:[05:06]..five tables played..as/usual all were of the 1K/.5K variety and as always anted the 125K-max-buy-in..play varied from "heads up"(but few then/usual) to briefly a table of six..but as what has become the typical in the "Era of the Grim Reaper"..vast majority were either three or four handed..all the usual suspects appeared at one time or another..save no "true" kamikaze..not to say there were a boat load of all-ins..but most from the following:..a myriad of..any-two-carders/continuation betting..pot pushers..tournament style players [basically pot-pushers but more virulent..many bouts of "My pairs bigger than Yours' is"..a host of bets pre-flop on a pocket Ace/any pair/any paint..and several times all-ins or big splashes from players who lost the last hand and went on "full tilt"..and then an extended battle of all-ins between two to see who was the "Table Captain"..which ended from my POV as it should..one busted out not to return and the "Grim Reaper" took the other mid-next hand with chips in the pot..tables 1/2/5..not quite as crazy as the other two..but I while not catching a whole lot of decent hands..had some good looks in the pocket but didn't hit many flops but when I did made some decent pots..mostly taking advantage of an any-two-carder..played 42 hands and won 9 pots(1/4.66) and was marginally ahead on all three table..exited all three times in the company of the "Grim Reaper"..tables 3&4..truly insane..loose play..same decent pocket looks and actually hit a few more pots..only one problem..the river took a dislike to me..I lost a few nice hands to a rivered card..not big pots..as/usual avoid the big pots but lost a few decent ones to a rivered better hand..only won 3 of the 26 hands played(1/8.67}....out of the 12 winners..half were quality hands..trips twice [both Aces]..a split pot straight..2 flushes [both on the 5th table]..and a full boat right out of the gate on the 1st table..looked at my stats after the 5th table..though about playing on..only 38 hands shy of 60K hands played..but thought better of it..ergo..:{stats}:..50 minutes played..104 minutes off the "drop clock"..68 hands played..12 winners..1 out of every 5.67 hands played..left 23,232$ on the tables..[no slots]..[just took the first drop(w/ad.) of the day for another "44K house money"]....

Poker:[04:47]:..as/of now still not able to log-on to Poker..still down..will try periodically throughout the day....[04:56}..decided to take one more look before starting today's play on sims/solitaire..and discovered game was backup..four tables played..all of the 1K/.5K variety..all brought my 125K-max-buy-in.."heads up" to briefly a 5 handed game..most hands were with three players..and I'm sorry to report that the "Grim Reaper" is still "alive & well" or rather is still "dead & collecting souls"..all four tables..with the game being down for the past 24 hours+ I assumed that the play would be loose and it was but frankly not as bad as I expected..thought I'd see bunch kamikaze/dive bombers..didn't..sure there were a bunch of all-ins..mostly on pocket Ace/any pair or paint bets pre-flop..the last round of a "My pairs bigger than Yours' is"..and a few from the last efforts of a player with a depleted stack..a whole boat load of any-two-carders/continuation bettors..but by-in-large not a bad tables for me if I was catching which for most of the session I was..but only one pot that wasn't a small/blind/split-pot..was in the small with Ten/Nine unsuited..[4 handed]..decided to call the 1K bump from an any-two-carder on the button..flopped the Ten high straight..table went dead..Queen on the river..but no board pair..no flush draw..knew I had the "nuts"..just called hoping someone had a pocket Queen and maybe flopped two pair..which the button had..he went all-in for 25K..I called and the blind raccoon had a nice meal..and that hand was on the first table within the first 4 or 5 hands I played..spent the rest of the session playing ultra-tight and picking up what scraps I could.."The Grim-One" got me all four times but played at least 13 hands on all four tables..ergo..:[stats]: 40 minutes played..56 hands played..15 pots..1 for every 3 &1/3rd hands played..left with an extra 5,874$ from the tables..but had 9 goes at the "one armed bandit" one got 3 bunches of grapes for 10K..and a total of 12K from the nine.."Net Gain:" 17,874$..and happy to be back on the tables..despite the fact that the "Grim-One" remains.
