[+60*F....rain....winds from the south @ 14 mph....rain through early afternoon w' T-storms predicted]
   A start on the late side for me this morning....never took a "chair" a the /usual 1000/500 blind table w/ my 125K max-buy-in until 06:53....and found myself at a table with one style....pot pushing....big pot poker....first hand pocket Ace/Nine and flopped two pair....ended up all-in and losing to a turned trip Eights....now I don't use auto-re-buy....on the rare occasions when I do go bust....I prefer to take a minute to decided what to do....so I did re-buy and found myself at the self same table....thought about...beating a haste retreat and trying to find a table more conducive to my style....while I "sat" there a couple of hands went by and I caught a King/Ten....and flopped two pair....which held up and won back about 100K of what I had lost....I did  say they were playing big pot poker....I'm not sure that there ever was an "any-two-carder" at the table....with big pre-flop bets on most hands and if not than, then after the flop there would be....who could tell....????....there was a brief stop by a kamikaze and nothing changed....the crazy thing about the whole deal was except for the two pair hand mentioned above....only won three other pots....none of which could be called blind/small pots....and except for a pot I won when I flopped three Aces....won the other two with high pair....I sometimes write about the appearance of a few hands of "My pair is bigger than Your pair".....but today that was the style being played on virtually every hand....now I know how to play that style....I hate it....but I can play it....the clock told me I was approaching 30 minutes played....and as I often do....played to the button and booked.....45 hands played....40 sec./hand....4 winners....1 every 11.25 hands....and yet....left with an extra 27,050$ above and beyond the 250'K I had "put up"....[ roulette spin was waiting when I logged in....got the minimum 63'K....have a drop coming shortly....????....]

   This is shaping up to be a crazy day of online gaming.....just played a wild game of Fall Spades....but after the session of Poker I hand first thing this morning....I should have known....
   Logged on as is my habit first thing after rolling out of bed to a 1000/500 blind table....with the usual 125'K max-buy-in....a table of three....and except for a couple of hands at 4 or 5 players....and a few hands "heads up" it remained by enlarge a three handed game....the avatars changed....but the numbers remained the same....one brief appearance by a kamikaze....a couple of new-bees....but a succession of "tournament players".....but was catching and I can play my style on a table regardless of the style being played by whoever....if I'm catching....a few big pots were played....but never did have "the hand" at the right time to get a piece of one....mostly blind/small pots....a couple of decent pots....and will freely admit to doing a little pot building myself....won 7 pots with either a pair or two pair....3 pots with "trips".....1 with a flush.....&....it's kinda of weird how certain hands just seem like old friends....I've made quads from time to time but IIRC one "hand" keeps coming back for a "visit" more than any other....again with the quad Nines....not a huge pot....but a decent pot....board had 3 Nines and a pair of Tens....I generally run from a board like that....or a board with 2 pairs....but with that 4th Nine in my "pocket".....raise....but the pace of play was just a little too frantic for me this AM....felt like I  was stuck in the blinds with only time  to take a breath when on the "button"....ergo....30 minutes played....50 hands played....36 sec./hand....12 winners....1 every 4+ hands....left with 11,950$ I hadn't brung with me....no  slots....1st drop@23'K....no ads....
