Pokerist:..As/always picked up the waiting "DB"@10K$ & checked the "Daily Quests"..[1] "Bet 1.3'M$ nit"..[shrugs]..[2] "Win w/high card"..had one shot at this one but lost Jack:vs:Queen..[3] "Win w/straight 2x"..[later]..2$/1$ blinds table..varying buy-ins..and cash-out tactic used frequently..fast play clock..five chairs..most hands were four to five handed..and styles varied as peeps came an went..there were a few trips to Kamikazeville..but by-enlarge it was a friendly game..with some min-raises and the occasional splash of the pot pre-flop when a pair bet a pocket Ace or any pair..otherwise there was always an any-two-carder..a pot-pusher & lest I forget an ersatz table captain which I "caught" a couple of times for a couple of nice pot..one of note..King/Queen unsuited..flopped an Ace/Ten..and the Jack joined the party on the turn..for not only my best pot of the session..600+K$..but was the 2nd straight..I had mentioned in a post below that I really wish that I could play an extended session & today I got may wish & except for one call..I thought I was beat but decided to make the dude prove it..even I can get ornery at times..I got to play my style for a change..well at least the slow play..trapping style..as to small ball not on that table.. especially when the Captain was around..decided to play to the top of the hour..left from the button after "waving bye-bye" to the table..and staggered to the lobby..ergo....

..<:{stats}>..133 minutes played..160 hands played.."pace of play:" 49.9 secs./hd...36 winners (42% on quality hands).."Current Bank:" 8,183,995$.."Up:" +35,073$("Daily Bonus:" +10K$.."Daily Quests(1/3):" 24'K$.."Table(1):" walked away with 1,073$ I hadn't brung with me).."Total Hands Played:" 15,046..19th "Level(n/c)"..../....

[[From the tables]:..the take from the table this morning was the best so far..hit 15K+ hands played..I doubt that I'll play another session today..seeing it's the weekend the chances of me winning a hand with a high card seems highly unlikely]..../....

Glossary of Terms Spades

A game: made up of several hands, collect 500 points and you win....you can also win regardless of you're score if your opponents score -200 points or more

Bags: if you as a team take more tricks then you bid, you get 1 bag for each trick over, collect 10 and you lose 100 points

Bid: before a hand is played, based on the cards you hold, now many tricks you can win

Hand: players play one card each high card in suit takes the hand unless a trump is played and then high trump wins the hand, 13 tricks per hand

Lay of the cards: how the cards are dealt on any given hand

Nil Bid: a bid of nil......your intent to not take a trick in a hand, +100 points if you succeed, -100 points if you take even 1 trick

Over bid hand: there are 13 tricks per hand.....if the bids total 14 or more....one team will go back...maybe both

Set: a team failures to make their bid, their lose 10 points for each bid example team total bid was 7, team took 6 or less tricks....you lose 70 points.....also referred to as "going in the hole" or "going back"

Suits: Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts

Trick: one round of play in a hand

Trump: in Spades, the spades are always trump, beats everything except a higher trump, can only be played if you don't have the suit lead..must be played if trump is lead.....trump can't be lead until a player trumps in....

Trumping In: playing a trump on a trick when you are out of that suit....but it's the players choice...unless trump is lead...

We/They: as in any partners card game one of the possible names for the 2 teams....I've seen "us" & "them".....and a few others i can't mention here
