Pokerist: All that is necessary to determine what size table on played on during both the PM&AM ses-sions and what the dominate play style was is to check out "pace of play"..which was a mind blowing 34.8 seconds/hand..yup..both had five chairs..only diff was one was a "normal play clock" & the other a "fast play clock"..2$/1$ blinds..and for the vast majority of both sessions I was using a 20$ buy..PM: session ..went looking for a table..all the nine chair tables were obviously full blown kamikaze fests..and the only open chairs were on a five chair table with two players..maybe 150$ between them..and sat down in what just a couple of hands turned into a "5 player over the top all-in Battle Royale"..I didn't win a pot for probably the first 20 hands I played..caught some decent hands but just not decent enough..well eventual started to win some hands and got back to nearly even as the hour played approached..but last few minutes the style shifted to a more friendly howbeit aggressive style..would have played on..but my bedtime was fast upon me and wanted to have a snack before retiring..and if I hadn't played the last hand from the "small" before I "waved bye-bye" to the table from the "button" I would have ended marginally ahead (left 14$ on the table)..AM:session..the "fast" table..now I have a pre-AM:session routine..pickup "Daily Bonus"..then check the day's "Quests".."Bet 150K$ on a single non-tournament hand and get 1.5K..like I'm ever going to do that.."Win with a High Card" & "Win with a Straight"..and went looking for a table were maybe I  could get a high card winner..yup..my prime directive in the AM:session is get those "Quests" completed..nine seat tables were too full..and a "fast five" with two players looked the best choice..right..except for the last few minutes when it morphed briefly into a friendly howbeit aggressive game..another all-in shootout at the "OK Corral"..and I basically got my head handed to me..save for the first couple of hands..won a pot with a pair and then another with a Straight (check off "Quest")..I had throw in the towel so to speak and had planned to book-it after the hour struck..but then a decent friendly game save for your friendly neighborhood pot-push..whom I "caught" a couple of times and was beginning to re-coup some of my losses..well until I flopped a set of Sevens..(pair in the pocket)..and the river put three to a straight on the board..yup..lost to the straight..the hour and just past when a kamikaze arrived I was in the "small" fold.."waved bye-bye" to the table..and left from the button..ergo..<:{stats}>..123 minutes played..212 hands placed.."pace of play" 34.8 secs/hd..35 pots..1 out of every 6.1 hands played.."Current Bank" now stands@3,141.3'K$.."Up:" +17,226$("Daily Bonus:"+10K$_"Daily Quests(1/3):"+7.5K$_"Tables(2):"-374$(PM:-14$/AM:-360$)) .."Total Hands Played" now stands@6,662..15th "Level(n/c)"..../....[[From the Tables]:..my focus is to end each day with more K$s than I started with..and if the means sacrificing a few $ on the tables to gain K$s from fulfilled "Quests" then so be it]..../....
