[06:27 UTC-4]..[Today's Live Game(s) Results]..<[Facebook]>..Poker:[04:06]:..picked up the awaiting drop(s/ad.) for "22K house money" & the/usual side-trips to run time of the "drop clock"..:[04:59]: what is becoming the "norm"..five tables played..all as/usual of the 1K/.5K variety & on all plunked down my 125K-buy-in always..play ranged from briefly a six handed game..down to a few hands "heads up"..but the majority of the hands were three or four handed..1st table..wasn't there long enough to get any "feel" of the table..won one blind pot with a pair but got a visit from the "Reaper" mid-hand w/a pair..[3 hands played]..2nd table..except for a couple of "heads up" hands..all the rest were three handed..and the other players were members of the oft mentioned "Ladies of Poker"..a decent table..just a couple of continuation raises but basically a decent table and for a change I was catching..won three pots & split two others out out of 14 hands played..had three quality hands..twice made trips [one was a split pot] & a full house..had pocket Sixes..flopped the set..and was on the button..last to act after the river when the "Reaper" drugged me "a kickin' & a cussin'" from the table..3rd table..up to 5 handed but most hands with four at the table..pocket singleton Ace/any pair/any paint pre-flop splashes and a couple of times I have no idea why..add to that I flat wasn't catching..11 hands played..never won a pot..closest I came was when I lost a 2 pair to a rivered better two pair..and this time was glad to see the "Reaper"..4th table..mostly four handed..and not one but two any-two-carders..if one didn't make a pre-flop raise the other one would..and most times the other would would re-raise..most raises were 1K..after a few hands there were 3 or 4 hands in a row with all-ins post-flop..9 hands played..and this time I beat the "Reaper" to it and ran for the lobby..5th table..a couple hands "heads up" the rest were three handed..the MadTrollie..a "Lady of Poker"..and some dude I don't remember seeing before..but except for some raises after the flop or turn..a pretty decent table..wasn't catching like I'd like to but then when do I..won 4 pots all four times with 2 pair out of 16 hands played..but the disparity between the table is significant..on tables 1/3/4 I  won 1 pot out of the 23 hands played..on 2 & 5 I won 10 out of 30 hands played..a weird day..after the 5th table..had both missions and 53 hands played..enough was enough..ergo..:{stats}..47 minutes played..100 minutes off the "drop clock"..53 hands played..11 winners..1 out of every 4.82 hands played..left 12,588 on the tables..[no slots]....Video Poker Live: a very interesting& enlightening run for the 2x modifier..it had just re-set..so the meter was a 0%..and my level meter was 57%..decided to wager 50K/hand..and after 10 hands had the 2K modifier..and look at the level meter and I was at 97%..played the 11th hand..up to the 22nd level..by observation..the more you are willing to risk the large percent you gain/hand..not surprising but now confirmed..not to forget that I had a decent run and netted an extra 300K..now I am by nature a "small ball" player at the poker table..and probably will not go as we said back in the day "whole hog" with my wagers..but 50K/hand sounds good..[oops:all hands played on the 10s or better machine].."Total Bank" now stands@37.270'M chips....[11:33 UTC-4]....Day's End Poker: Total Bank: 668.8'M / Net Gain Today: 361.4'K / Drops[7]&Roulette[1]: 374'K / Tables[5]: -12,588$ / Hands Played Today: 53 / Total Hands Played: 61,460 / [[notes]: 4 drops@22 & 3 drops@44K & 1 roulette spin@154'K]....18:53 UTC-4]....
