Pokerist: got a tad of a late start to the day so cut the morning session down to 91 minutes..1 table..2$/1$ blinds..40$ buy-in.."normal play clock"..a table with nine chairs..everything from "heads up" to a full table..but more hands  with four or less players than /usual.."friendly" at times..semi-aggressive at times..and at others a full blown "kamikaze fest"..and towards the end of the session 3 "elite" players were at the table..early there was a brief lull when it was a fairly friendly table of "heads up" to four players..so didn't deploy "cash-out"..but with the return of the aggressive..all-in before the flop style I would fold after a win..and cash-out and return with a 40$ stake..I'll play with the all-inners  when I have a good pocket cards..but would prefer to take a "limited" risk..during play I had made 2 previous full boats..and when I made the third got an alert that I'd completed "Full House III" & collected 170K$..add to that the 10K$ "Quarter" from yesterday's afternoon session a decent nice start to the day..also had a decent day's play..didn't quite win by what I had lost in yesterday's afternoon session..but go most of it back..plus went 3/3 on the daily "Quests" so a very nice result for the day..but..I have a couple more "Achievements" in reach and then the rest are in the distant future..ergo..I Am determined to take the "tortoise approach" to play..stay within the daily "house money(aka:daily bonus)"..do what I can to complete the daily "Quests"..and limit my exposure to losses at the table(s)..ergo..stick to play on the 2$/1$ tables and deploy "cash-out" when called for..maybe not a flashy style of play..but it's the one that makes the most sense to me..or it that the most cents..90 minutes stuck when I was in the "small"..and exited from the button..[as/usual stats reflect both yesterday's afternoon & this mornings session]..ergo..,{stats}>..141 minutes played..162 hands played..52.2 seconds/hand..32 pots won..1 for every 5&1/16th hands played.."Current Bank" now stands@1,528'K$.."Up:"+208,452$("Daily Bonus:"+15K$.."Quests(3/3):"+13.5K$.."Achievements:"+180K$.."Table(s):"-48$)..../....
