   The laws of probability are that I have as much chance on the Poker roulette wheel of getting 60K or getting 800K.....but lately I've been seen more of the 60K....probability or Karma..you be the judge.....took about an hour to get a Poker table.....first a pot pusher, then a spat of "my pair is bigger then your pair.....had one hand of 2 pair and a small pot, and 1 blind pot...would have stayed but wanted to walk before it got too hot.....20 hands....-3660$.......Blackjack 21 just claiming drops and roulette.....just waiting for the weekend.....(current temperature: +83*F....heat index +90*F.no my kind of weather)
(11:03 UTC-4)
   Weird last hand of a Fall Spade game, I was the "dealer" so the player on my right bids first...and the player on the right bid 10......hit the button to see my cards praying that I had a hand I could bid nil on, and despite me being a gimpy. grumpy. old cuss...my prays were answered.....the 10 bid's partner bid 1, and my pard bid 3......I did the math.....14 bid only 13 available....someone is going back....but then knew if I made my nil even if pard didn't we'd make 70 points and needed only 50 to go out.....I made my nil, pard made his 3....we made 130 pts.......they lost 110 points.....a 240 pt swing on one hand.....can't remember seeing one much bigger......
(15:46 UTC-4)
   Been a mixed day of solitaire.....cleared an Aces Up (relaxed), a couple of Labyrinth, but Crescent for most of the day has been a bust....and a couple of +30s after the deal, and before the first shuffle both fizzled out.....Last game was a good one....91/104 with 4 foundation piles complete.....not a win to be sure but with the luck I've had to day I'll take it.....
(22:17 UTC-4)
   Been an off day as far as drops and roulette on both Poker and  Blackjack 21, Poker 6 drops 2 roulette, and hit the 2 lowest value on roulette, 60K & 100K.....and Blackjack 21 was worse...6 drops and 2 roulette, hit the roulette for 200$ both spins....only 1 spin of low value.....it's almost like having 8 drops....
   Crescent I had one game that really drove me nuts...was over half way complete before the first shuffle 57/104.....and then it just frizzle....a 72/104.....oy vey and rats.....

   I'm still having a problem getting a table for Poker when I want to play....frankly I miss the game that was before it went "mobile"....and not surprisingly the style of play has become far more aggressive, which doesn't fit with my preferred style of play.....but that being said...it with all the warts is still the best "free" poker site I've been able to find.....
   As to Blackjack 21 am still trying to decide what I might do....but will keep collecting drops and roulette and see what the weekend might bring....

(11:06 UTC-4)
   I've been trying for almost 5 hours periodically to get on Poker but can't get a table.....have picked up a few drops, but no open table as of yet.....Blackjack 21..drops and a roulette, but haven't tried to play...I'm re-evaluating what I want to do there, thinking about a few options.....but no decision as of yet
   A few games of Fall Spades, one close one but all winners.....a few Crescent games best a 84/104 with 4 foundation piles complete....
  Also some Labyrinth....in many ways a different game.....in that you either clear it or you don't, it's either 52/52 or something less or way less that 26/52.....rare to see a game I had yesterday which was a 43/52......like I said you either clear it or you don't....off to take another shot at getting on a Poker Table
(12:15 UTC-4)
   After nearly 6 hours got on a table, not a bad table, but couldn't catch but one hand......made a straight on the turn....river made 3 to a flush.....and you guessed it the river flushed my straight.....14 hands.....table: -10,220$, slots: +500$, net: -9720, but 16+ mission complete.....don't actually know why the counter says 15 hands.....but the mission credits me with 16+.....only guess is the counter  doesn't count folds pre-flop except when your in the blinds.....?.....
(14:11 UTC-4)
   Only 13 tricks in a hand of Fall Spades, if total  bid is 14 tricks.....one team will be set.....but if 15 tricks are bid...both teams can go back.....1st hand....15 tricks bet both go back.....we got out of the hole on the 2nd hand, only to get set again.....never got out of the hole for good until 5 hand.....they were only out of the hole twice, and fell right back in.......several hands and 18 bags later...a winner....crazy lay of the cards again.......

   Haven't made any decision as of yet on what to do about Blackjack 21......at this point I intend to give the actual play of any hands a rest.....probably to the weekend.....and then see what I think about continue play then......I would like to reach 100K$ and at least 1000 hands played, will continue to claim drops and roulette spins until i exceed the 100K$ goal.....and then decide

   Took me better than an hour to find a Poker table, and then right out of the blocks as it were made a very stupid call....what I dummkoph I can sometimes be.....no excuses...played 21 hands, down -9350$, but did win a couple of decent pots, 16+ & 10K+ missions complete, so the purpose for playing early was meet.....but......oy vey......what a putz I can sometimes be
   Picked up a couple of drops, 1 each Poker and Blackjack 21....good game of Fall Spades, Crescent 1st game started out great but fizzled out, 50/104
(11:30 UTC -4)
   I'd like to preface these remarks with what I've said along, Blackjack is not my game, never really have a like for it, or truth be told, not that good at it.....20 hands.......dealer had Blackjack 5 time...3 times in a row.....and a 3 card 21 4 or 5 times......in fact on 2 of my 3 Blackjacks he had a 3 card 21 underneath  me.....plus 3 pushes......I juggled my bets....but couldn't catch a decent hand when I did......but then it's only a game, it's faux money, down -1680$......think I'll give it a rest for awhile
  And Crescent has been a bust....several hands........no joy......a down day so far at online games, but I'm retired, and a bad day of online games beats a good day at work every time......
(21:21 UTC)
   Talk about a klutz moment....I have a condition called essential tremor, at times my hands shake at the most awkward moment....based on my losses early on Poker my daily lost should be -9,350$ but it is actually -19,350....when taking the last drop of the day I experience a hand tremor and by accident hit the "play now" button and found myself in the small blind on a 20K/10K blind table. left as soon as I could but left 10K behind....oy vey.....but that pretty much how the day has gone.....did have 1 near miss on Crescent 101/104 and 7 foundation piles complete the 2 was on top then the Ace.....and the 3 on the bottom, last shuffle....

   Chalk up a new one, something I've never seen before in the Poker game I play....got a table right off....2 days in a row.....hopefully the table is full days are behind us (knock wood).....played 14 hands but got credit for the 16+ mission, seen that many times before, down -2595....been there done worse but it's the price I will gladly pay to complete the mission so I can speed up the clock.....table of kamikaze and pot pushers.....that's becoming the new normal.....but 1 hand in a lull.....until the river only blinds and calls.....no all-ins...no pot pushing.....I flopped 4 to a straight, 4 to a flush, and after the turn 4 to a straight/flush.....straight was an open ended.....Ace on the river and made the wheel....player ahead of me bet 11'K....had to call.......split pot.....so maybe I netted 100$.....but the drop down informs me I had complete the 10'K+ mission....well the pot was in excess of 20'K....but never saw that happen before, mind you I ain't complaining......picked up a drop on both Poker and Blackjack 21.....
(09:57 UTC-4)
   For once a fun game of Fall Spades.....close game until the last hand, both teams were set once....both teams made successful nil bids....nip and tuck the whole way.....but bags turned the  tables in our favor, we made 7 total..they 14.....they lost 100 points on the last hand for making 10 bags....a nice win...
   Crescent....4 games.....1 with promise but no joy and the other 3 no point in playing  past the deal......5th game however after the last shuffle.....2 options.....tried the obvious one  first.....nice finish but no winner....one of the options to the game is you can take back moves.....explore your options.....went back to where I started, chose the other option.....104/104.....8 foundation piles complete....
(12.27 UTC-4)
   So decided to play Labyrinth and Aces Up....until I cleared one or played 20 games without a winner......Labyrinth on the 3rd game......Aces Up started to look like it was a 20 game and zilch, with only a 47/48 game to show for it, and then came game 16....48/48 and I'm gone..well at least until the next time
(13:41 UTC-4)
   Played Blackjack 21 in the "gap" between drops on Poker & Blackjack 21....just 9 hands....was increasing my bets......had bet 20$ ( okay I like playing low-ball) first two cards made 11....dealer show a 6.....I doubled......looking for a 10 or face card.....got a 2...oy vey.....dealer fortunately busted.....+30$.....in about 7 minutes
(10:45 UTC-4)
   Needed 18 hands played on Poker for 20'K hands played. after several attempts to get a table i  got one complete with pot pusher....and couldn't catch a hand.....finally made a hand....had straight...3 all-ins, including me....I don't like going all in but I will in defense of what I think is a winner.....the pot pusher was gone, and I left with 20,699$ and 23 hands played, and my +20K hands played

(08:43 UTC-4)
   Got a late start to the day, never logged on until a bit after 7:30 local time, collected a drop on Blackjack 21, then one on Poker, tried for a table, no joy, tried immediately again..got a table....a great table....my kind of table...a little pot pushing.....one incident of my pair is big the than your pair.....but other then that a great table......so decided to stick  around.....and try for my 10K+ mission.....50 minutes later.....and 42 hands.....basically couldn't catch more the a few hands......down 2908$....never made a bad call or chased....just played a good solid game, my game, but the blinds will eat you up when your not catching........dang.plum forgot the 1100$ on slots...(edited table loss)
(15:57)
   I guess sometimes you get what you deserve.....yesterday I had a chip and hit Poker roulette for 1,6'M.....today I also had a chip....and hit for the bottom of the barrel 60'K.....later a spin of the wheel on Blackjack 21....you got.....bottom of the barrel 100$, that's less then a drop.....oy vey
   Haven't played either Poker or Blackjack except for drops since the first report......except for 2 games of Fall Spades.....just a number of games of Crescent, never once even getting close to a clear or even a decent try.....1st game Fall Spades...total of 6 bags...easy win, 2nd game team was 111 points from a win had 8 bags, partner bid 3 and made 7 tricks.....for a total of 11.....down 100 pts....but made 40 pts for making his bid.....fortunately I had bid nil and made my bid...+100 pts....and the other team was set to boot.....a win is a win but.....
