Pokerist: two tables played..both were 2$/1$ blinds..40$ buy-in on both.."normal play clock"..set for nine..anything from "heads up" up to and including a nine handed game and every thing in-between..but probably more hands were played with five or less players..more "heads up" & three handed than is typical..play varied from a friendly game to a full blown "kamikaze fest"..a mix of both experienced players & "rooks"..Today's session one of the "rooks" was irritating..he was "running hot"..and was making so rather smart-aleck comments..and road the streak to 600$+..next hand I actually caught a hand..which was a rarity in either session..and took a piece out of him with a straight..next hands..he was all-in and beat by a full-house..and was gone..[sigh of relief]..all the usual suspects were there at one time or another..kamikaze..dice bombers..any-two-carders..pot pushers/continuation bettors..and the frequent splash of the pot with a pocket Ace or any pair..this morning's session the "Quests} were "Hands Played for 1.5K$(check).."Win with a high card for 3.5K$(nope)..&.."Win with a Full House" for 12.5K$ (check)..a couple of hands before I retired to the lobby..had a Nine/Two unsuited in the "big blind" and got to see the flop for a check..flop..Two/Eight/Ten..turn..Ten..river..Ten..was both thinking of leaving soon & the "Quest" but figured the odds were 50/50 so mage a call that put me all-in and won the pot..got to the button..folded.."wave bye-bye" to the table and fled..just wasn't catching and when I did more oft' than not got beat by a slightly better hand or the river..oy vey..[[note]: stats reflect both yesterday's afternoon & this mornings session]..ergo..<{stats}>..206 minutes played..204 hands played..60.6 seconds/hand..33 winning pots..1 for every 6.2 hands played.."Current Bank" now stands@2,026.9'K$.."Up:"+23,419$ ("Daily Bonus:"+10K$.."Quests(2/3):"+13.5K$.."Tables(2):"-81$)..12th "Level(+1)..../....
