*[06:35 UTC-4]*[Today's Live Game Results]*<[Facebook]>..Poker:[03:56]: took the awaiting roulette spin[s/chip) for "66K house money..[the planned side-trips to run time off the "drop clock"]..:[05:10]:..four tables played..as/usual all were of the 1K/.5K variety..and on all as/always risked the max-buy-in of 125K..play varied from a few hands "heads up" to very briefly a six handed game..but most hands were with three players at the table..with the exception of the first table and the first couple of hands on the second table the style of play was not as loose as has been the norm of late..no true kamikazes or any-two=carders..for the majority of the session..sure there were the pocket singleton Ace/any pair/any paint bets..and there was some pot-pushing after the flop..but mostly min or small raises..but for the most part there were opportunities for me to play my preferred small ball..slow play..trapping style..that is if I'm catching..and that's where the tables varied..1st table..very fluid player was..a lot of comings & goings..players I've see before and some I haven't..but one style of play remained constant..if a player after the flop raised..another would call and set off a round of raise/re-raise..aka:"My pairs bigger than Yours' is"..and there "sat" the old MadTrollie..11 hands looking for a hand and only finding one..a late 2-pair..raised from the small blind..and the other two ran away..actually was quite relieved when the "Reaper" showed me the gate..2nd table..I "sat down" to a table of six..didn't take more than two hands to tell me we had a refuge from the tournament tables present..a 5K or better bump pre-flop on every hands and continuation betting..[did check his stats to confirm]..thankfully he left after just a few hands and the table calmed down..and I started to catch a few hands..only 4 pots out of 13 hands played..but a couple of halfway decent pots and played pretty even stack-wise..and then the "Reaper"..3rd table..4 winners and 1 2-way split pot but even that was a small pot because play had been 3-way..and two pots were won when I rivered a card..doesn't happen for me very often..being on the "short-end" of a river card happens all the time..at least that's how it seems to me..well I was getting comfortable on the table..my stack was increasing..pocket Ten/Eight suited..flopped 4 to the Ten high straight..turned the straight..1st to act..though about raising..decided to check and I had no soon hit the "check"' button when the "Reaper" dragged me "a kickin' & a cussin" from the table..4th table..a decent table..but except for a blind pot.."heads up"..where the other player fold pre-flop..never won a pot or saw a playable hand..ergo..:{stats}:..38 minutes played..110 minutes off the "drop clock"..52 hands played..11 pots..1 for every 4.73 hands played..left 15,400$ on the tables..no "bad beats"..just the wear & tare of not catching & no decent pots won..[no slots]....Video Poker Live: pretty typical run for the 2x modifier..10 hands@50K-coins/hand..as/usual all hands played on the "Tens or Better" machine..3 pairs..2 2-pair..the modifier and only dropped 100K-coins..100K-coins on the "Jackpot Wheel"..so looked at my total and had an odd 5K and decided to loss it..well 11 hands later after hands at bets of up to 60K coins & 4 pairs..2 2-pairs & a set..I finally lost the original 5K-coins..but in the process pushed to with 3 percentage points of the next level..which tomorrow's run for the 2x modifier should cover easily.."Current Bank" now stands@85.2'M coins....[11:33 UTC-4]....[edited 18:42 UTC-4]....Day's End Poker: Total Bank: 686.6'M / Net Gain Today: 1.986.4'K / Drops[6]: 2,002'K / Tables[4]: -15.400$ / Hands Played Today: 52 / Total Hands Played: 63,215 / [[notes]: 2 drops@44K & 4 drops@22K & 2 roulette spins: 1@66K & 1@1,760K[w/chip]]....[19:21 UTC-4]....
