Pokerist: off to play my/usual morning session..one table..2$/1$ blinds..40$ buy-in..["slow play clock"]..set for nine..numbers varied from a three handed game up to and include a full cast of nine..for the majority of the session the play was very loose..many kamikaze..and I wasn't getting many good looks..and more often than not when I did catch a hand I got beat..better 2-pair..river card..runner-runner..but did manage to win four pots with pair for one "Quest" and after chasing a straight for most of the session made one and a "Quest"..completed all three..the other play 5 hands at a table(.5K)..for almost my entire session there were to "elite" players at the table..both were catching..and I tried just to play good pockets and stay out of the way..but the last 30 minutes(+/-)..it changed into a more friendly board with just occasional loose play..the two "elites" were still there..and a short visit by a player with similar stats to mine..but a whole pack of "rooks"(under 100 hands played) and I gleefully took advantage of them..I finally started catching a few more nice hands..for most of the session I'd been using the "cash-out" tactic..but when I went on a min-run..left the money on the table..2 hours were up..played to the button..waved "bye-bye" to the table..and left..(as/usual stats reflect both yesterday's afternoon session and this mornings)..ergo..<{stats}>..182 minutes played..161 hands played..67.8 seconds/hand..23 pots..1 for every 7 hands played.."Current Bank" now stands@1,319.5'K$.."Up:"+24,495$("Quests(3/3):"+23.5K$.."Tables(2):" +995$).."Total Hands Played" now stands@2,576..10th "Level(n/c)"..../....

Pokerist:[Take Two]: Nothing on TV so decided to play some poker..1 table..2$/1$..40$ buy-in.."slow play clock"..set for nine..heads up to a full nine..a couple of friendly hands but most of the time the kamikazes reigned..50 minuted played..did make 10 pots..lost 402$..but made 4 straights & 1 full boat..but on one of the straights got an "Achievement" alert..[scratches his old grey head]..not close enough numbers wise to the next level of straights made..now my start hand was a Two/Five suited in Clubs..check the alerts..I'd achieved the "Quarter" win a hand with a starting hand of a Two/Five..didn't even know that one existed but ain't given the 10K back..so despite the loss of a little loose change..was a good session....[20:02 UTC-5]..../....
