   Logged on t o play some Poker @05:26....picked up a drop [no ad] that was awaiting me...."21'K house money'....@05:30 got a chair at a 1K/.5K table w/my /usual 125K max-buy-in....[brief pause so I can get my 4th drop of the day....all 21'Ks....but there has been a delay all 4 times...like it's looking for an ad but can find one....earlier hit the wheel for 63'K....have another spin later]
   A very typically wild and crazy weekend table....a couple of hands heads up....and a couple of six handed games and everything in between....if there were any true kamikazes appearing you won't have know it because the pot was being splashed with chips most hands
   First couple of hands at the table of 4 was a big stack "table captain" big pre-flop raise almost every hand....finally table of three....he'd raise pre-flop....we'd fold....he finally left....only to be replaced by another would be table captain.....finally after several new plays came, played were busted out....the player who had helped me chase the first one....caught a monster hand and busted the 2nd one out....finally maybe some calm play....but the other guy morphed in to table captain #3....oy vey....and then there arrived a very tournament experienced player....and then the "fun[?]" really began....
   In the brief lulls of the battles....I did manage to win a few pots....but the pace of player was insane....and there were almost on  every hand players busting out and arriving....I kept getting "caught in the blinds" add to that hands that I was willing to play to see the flop....no my day...the hour struck and I made my exit....ergo....60 minutes played....92 hands played....39+ seconds/hand....12 winners....1 every 7.7 hands played....left 28,300$ on the table....[no slots]

   05:17....off to play some Poker....so what's new....part of my daily routine....roll out of bed and onto a Poker table....watched an ad...."42'K house money}....a brief distraction....found a "chair" at a 1K/.5K table with my /usual 125K max-buy-in @05:19....
   A four handed game....during the session table varied from a few hands of "heads up" up to and including a couple of seven handed games....but constantly changing both in number of players and style of play....quite a few what I call "coffee break" players....play a few hands....maybe win a nice pot and are gone....and also the usual group of preps...any-two-carders....pot pushers....several rounds of "My pairs better than Your's".....a few battles to see who was the true table captain....but for a change no true kamikaze until the every end of the session....just a couple of "I've got a pocket Ace....all-inners"
   Was getting several nice looks in the hole....and did connect with a few flops early but nothing more than small/blind pots....then a "war" started between two players....was getting good enough looks to pay to see the flop....but just not getting the card[s] I needed....the hour was approaching and the wear & tear of the blinds and missed flops....I was down a little over 10K....on the button....the hour had come....and I had decided to  leave....when I got a visit from "Anne"....the old Ace/King suited....got involved in the aforementioned "war"....when I flopped trip Kings....busted one of them out....the other left a couple of hands later....so stuck around....a little up and down after that but did flop a Ace high straight....and sent two "any to carders" home....the kamikaze arrived and I made my escape....121 minutes played.....166 hands played....43.73 seconds/hand....35 winners....just a tad over 1 out of every 5 hands.....up 86,869$....and a happy blind raccoon....[no slots]....when claiming my 16 hands played & 10K+ missions....noted that I was a little short of the medal mission....my play again today....

    Logged on to play some Poker @05:33....collected the 21'K "house money" [no ad.] awaiting me.....filled out my session sheet and found a"chair" at a 1K/.5K blind table @05:34....with the /usual 125K max-buy-in.....
   4 handed game when I "sat down" but during the time I played varied from a couple of hands "heads up" up to and including a table of six players.....based on seconds/hand and observation....average was 4 to 5 players for the majority of the hands....
   Most of the time you could see the flop for a call of the blinds or a min-pre-flop raise....although there were a few times when we had players who'd go all-in or a large pre-flop raise....they had either a pocket pair....any pocket pair or a pocket ace....with few exception the rest of the table folded and all they got were the blinds....or they got beat....only rarely did they win the pot....
   Mix of experience....no rooks but a couple with under 1K hands played....and one with 100K+ hands played....any-two-carders, pot pushers, kamikazes, dive bombers, several games of "My pairs bigger than Yours'" and some extend "fist fights" over who was the "table captain"
   In other words....not the best table for my style....early was getting on average good looks in the hole....but either missed the flop....or several times had 4 to a straight paid to see the turn and missed....on one occasion....if i had gone to the river....would have made the straight....and lost to a rivered flush....was down early....just over 25'K....flopped a house and a nice pot....over the next few hands finally made a straight....a couple times trips....and flopped another house....had already played past the hour and was considering extending.....when 2 new players arrived....if one didn't go all-in pre-flop....then the other would post flop....you either joined in or.....I left....ergo....80 minutes played....96 hands played....50 seconds/hand....19 winners....1 every 5+ hands....escaped with an extra 1,125$....{no slots]....[hit the first of two roulette spins for the day for 1,680'K [w/chip]....

    @05:39 logged on to Poker....took the awaiting roulette spin [no chip] and hit the  "top of the mark" for 840'K in "house money" filled in my session work sheet and got right on a table [1K/.5K blinds w/ the /usual 125K max-buy-in]....a four handed game....a bit of a shock to the senses....yesterday played 2+ hours and played 90 hands....today played an hour and played 85 hands....although there were a couple of hands "heads up" and briefly a table of six....but the most part it was a 3  or 4 handed game....I'll loosen up a bit and play more hands at a "short" table....
   At first it was a very good table for my style....almost no pre-flop nonsense....and if there was....the rest of the table folded....but after about 20 minutes the new arrivals brought with them an "any-two-carder".....and a couple of pot pushers....all save one of my winners were of the small/blind pot variety....in fact 5 of the pots I won[?] were split pots....and during the time I played there 4 or 5 more split pots that I wasn't involved in....
   The only decent size pot I won during the session was when I slow-played/trapped one one of the pot pushers....he chose a slightly more than min-pre-flop raise....and I had pocket Aces....he kept pushing....and I kept calling....he check, I raised, he folded....but no a really big pot....just decent....unfortunately the blind raccoon never found a dumpster....
   Really didn't catch a whole bunch of big hands but played my usual conservative tight style....much as I prefer the larger table....if I'm catching....which I wasn't the last few sessions....I hate the lack of accessibility that we've experienced the last few days....but there again....it is what it is....was in a cold streak....just wasn't catching....a kamikaze appeared....and I disappeared...ergo....60 minutes played....85 hands played....48 seconds/hand....15 outright wins + 5 split pots....1 every 4.25 hands....left with an extra 8,012$.....[no slots]....

Preface: The story of my adventures at Poker today  can be summed up by Murphy's "If it can go wrong it will".....and today Murphy was definitely an optimist....
   @05:19....logged on to play some Poker....watched an ad....collect 42'K house money....tried numerous time to find a table in need of a player....tried....200/100, 1K/.5K & 2K/1K...and @05:22 found a "chair" a a 200/100 blind table w/my usual max-buy-in....in this case 25'K.....a wild table....but pretty typical of a 200/100 blind table....but a couple of big stacks....250'K+.....and on the few times I actually caught decent hole cards....either the price to see the flop was ridiculously high....or I got in for a min-raise or call and missed the flop....on the button with pocket Threes....just a min raise  and called....flopped trip Threes....and then....I'm last to act....and the game freezes....and I get a "reconnect" message....by the time I got back on....brief....but the play had passed me and I had been auto-folded....never caught another hand....and retired....but got the 16 hands played mission and started the clock....decided to try to play again....time now 06:02....after my tries and several games of solitaire....@08:07....found a chair at a 1K/.5K table....125K max-buy-in....the only difference between the first wild table of 8 and this wild table of 8 were [1] the blinds were higher [2] I actually caught a couple of hands.....results....1 split post....and 3 times beat by a rivered card....oy vey....
   I've lost more at the tables many times....but can't remember the last time I had such a bad run of cards.....the dis/re-connect....my cone told me my WiFi was fine....but I live close enough to  the NYC-metro area that I'm almost always under the yellow/orange cloud for FB....[link]....and since I get to the game through FB.....that's probably want happened....decided to just list the totals for both tables....ergo....124 minutes played....90 hands played....82.7 seconds/hand....1 win [a split pot]....left a combined 101,688 on  the tables....no slots....
