Pokerist: I had some time and decided to play again and try to get a "win w/high card" to fill a "Quest"..didn't but an interesting session nonetheless..PM:session:..2$/1$ blinds..as usual varying blinds 20$/30$/40$ but very few cash-outs or bust-outs..played most of the session with the "chips" on the table..a rarity for the ye ole Trollie..a normal play clock table with five chairs..some "heads up" sometimes a five handed game..but generally a three or four handed game..but as/is my preferred style just sat back..only played decent pocket cards and let the game "come to me" as it were..during play I hand a pocket Eight and frankly don't remember the other card..but got to see the flop on a call of the big & a 2$ raise..an any-two-carder at the table..flop was a pair of Aces & another Eight..won the pot with the 2-pair..and down come an "Achievement" banner..first  reaction..what?..than ah..Dead man's hand..& a 10K$ bonus..played just over an hour.."Up:"+10,614$..the bonus + a decent day at the tables..AM: session:..2$/1$ blinds table..fast play clock..varying buy-ins..five chairs..although there were some pre-flop all-ins they were either because a player was betting on a pocket Ace or pair..or on "tilt" after losing a big pot..in general loose play reigned..and there were a couple of bouts of "I'm the table captain..No!! I'am"..just "hide" under the table when that happened..didn't catch many hands and at least early in the session when I did catch got turned or rivered by a better hand..flopped 2-pair..Kings&Jacks..got beat my a runner-runner flush,,oy vey..had played maybe 10 hands when I made a straight.."Win w/a straight"(check)..and a hand or two later..pocket Kings..turned the set & "win twice"(check)..now the other "Daily Quest".."win w/2 pair or lower 4x" that took awhile..oh I was winning a pot here and there..a couple of flushes..another straight & another set of Kings..and my stake was yo-yoing between ahead and behind my buy-ins..just before an hour had elapsed I made a 2-pair and checked off the last of the 3 "Daily Quests"..but to my immediate left..full table of five (for most of the session had been a four/five table)..on the way to the button won a pot with a pair..got marginally ahead..got to the "button".."waved bye-bye} to the table and made my exist..ergo..,<:{stats}:>..128 minutes played(both sessions)..136 hands played..
