   "Sat down" at a 1000/500 blind table....125K max-buy-in....pretty typical table....3 to 6 players....changing seems like every other hand....and all the usual suspects made an appearance....a raid of kamikaze and dive bombers was successfully beat off....some pot pushing....a couple of "any-two carders"....a little of the "tournament style" [obviously someone[s] have been watching coverage of the "World Series of Poker]....a couple of bouts of "My pairs bigger......" one of which was won on a kicker when the board paired....basically pretty much the same as yesterday's table....with one major difference....although I was getting some decent hole cards....but the board failed to co-operate....had pocket pairs 3 times....only won one of those 3 hands....pocket Kings....and I missed the board completely....but beat 2 different players who hit the board but for smaller pairs....had a suited King/Jack....flop....4 to a flush....4 to a straight....3 to a straight flush....made the flush on the turn....and a nice pot....I love any-two-cards who let to make  continuation bets....but besides those two hands that was it....nothing...nadda....zilch....shmattah....butkis....37 hands played....2 winners....a win every 18.5 hands....good grief....so I looked at the clock....had been playing 22 minutes....decided to play to 30 minutes and see if my luck would change....and it didn't....ergo....30 minutes played....37 hands played 48.6 sec/hand....but way too many blinds and calls of small pre-flop raises when I had decent pockets only to have my hopes dashed with a unfriendly board....left 19,850$ on the table....[no slots]....two drops this AM....first without an ad....second one with an add....

   Logged on for my morning fix of Poker [1000/500 blind table....125K max-buy-in ].....and once more was more a "chair" in one of the lower reaches of the abyss....why me....what have I done to  deserve this....but anyways....caught the last death throes of an end session brawl....and unfortunately one of the participants hadn't had enough "fun" yet and for the next 20 minutes made a pre-flop raise and usually a big one on almost every hand....was able to in brief lulls and when good pockets dictated a view of the flop....and the price to play wasn't severe....I managed to slide a few hands....edgewise maybe....but a "nut flush" usually is a nice door opener....so on one hand I'm sitting there with pocket Ten's....a reasonable pre-flop raise and I'm in the small blind.....so a call....flop has a TEN....I'm first to act....just a check....the "pot-pusher" is on the button and raise a 2.5'K....I re-raise....get to calls....the fourth Ten joins the party on the turn....again a check....again a raise....and again I re-raise....one call....and  the "button" flops.....blank on the river....I raise and the other guy folds....only decent pot the entire session.....the pot pusher left and  for the next 10 minutes the table was relatively peaceful....won a two pots....and split two....just wasn't catching much....then in quick succession....two "any-two-carders" and a kamikaze arrived....put up with it for 10 more minutes and booked....very fluid table....any where from "heads up" to 6 players....average a 4/5 table....ergo....40 minutes played....59 hands played....41 sec/hand....7 winners....1 out of every 8.4 hands.....just too many blinds and not enough good hands....left 31,480$ on thee table....but went 5 for 7 tries at the old one-armed bandit....netted 2,200$....[[notes]:1: first two drops of the day were both with ads....2@42'K....2: the glitch with the "drop" clock....not advancing when the games is in another window/tab when you're elsewhere seems to have been fixed]

[+53*F....cloudy....a light breeze from the south @ 3 mph]
   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....

   A tad later start for me this morning....logged on to the usual 1000/500 blind table with my /usual 125'K max-buy-in....caught 2 pair early....a small pot....and collected another very nice pot as the 16 hands mission made an  appearance....Ace in the hole and two more in the flop....and then....nadda....shmattah....zilch....butkis....it's about 30 minutes in and I'm getting close to my buy-in....oh I'll play once more through the blinds and leave....caught a flush....and stayed.....40 minutes....again through the blinds and gone....trip jacks....and then  started to catch hands no big pots but some decent ones....it that run....most pots were won with pairs & kicker or two pair....did split a pot with a full house....and almost forgot....a nice pot when I made quad Jacks....and made a wise fold of a "Michael Jackson".....big raise on the river....four to a flush on the board....smelled the odor of flush....and was correct....but the run stopped with the split pot and decided as I watched my stack shrink....time to fly....for most of the time a very short table and a very fluid table....all styles made an appearance.....2 different attacks of kamikaze....but note to those who choose that style....it's not a good idea to come to a 1000/500 blind table....with a max-125K-buy-in....and expect the table to play with you....four attempts....no takers....and he picked up the 4 sets of blinds and left....the other player picked her spots....and had a minimum buy-in....and did well....for awhile....and was eventually shown the door....several games of "My pairs bigger than Yours".....an "any-two-carder" here....an overly aggressive tournament style player there....ah the continuation bet....and the guy who tried to steal the pot with a raise after the river but hadn't raised the entire hand....guess he'd never played with a gimpy,grump,old slow-play trapper before....[pause....took a drop....watched an ad trying to sell me a diamond pendant and collected 42'K]....ergo....91 minutes played....123 hands played....44.3 sec/hand....16 winners....1 every 7.7 hands.....left with an extra 5,925$....but enjoyed the session.....played some good poker....and wasn't a dummkopf....no dumb calls....
