Poker:[04:36]:..off to claim the awaiting drop[w/ad.] for 44"K "house money" [off to "The Farthest Side"]:[05:12]..1K/.5K blind table w/my /usual 125K max-buy in..:[stats]: 15 minutes played..53 total minutes off the "drop clock"..21 hands played..4 hands won..1 out of every 5.24 hands/played..left 17K on the table..hit the slots, one spin for 7.5'K and a total of 8.5'K for a net loss of 8.5'K session....
   The problem today was not finding a table but rather staying on a table..got hit with the "3 consecutive hands not played" three times..every time in the middle of the hand..obviously they haven't fixed that glitch yet..but in  the interim I did manage to achieve both the 16 hands and 10K+ missions..when I got "kicked" the third time..had the missions so decided not to try again...
   But the "fun" didn't end there..I still can't figure out how I  lost 17K on the table..only lost one hand  that wasn't a small/bind pot..and that one I maybe lost 7'K..just doesn't make sense..unless there's a built in "penalty" for the "3rd hand rule"..but honestly have no real idea..but it wasn't done yet..first drop watched the ad. and..back to the lobby..it didn't cycle..have see that before..re-hit collect and got credit for a single drop..next drop..watch the ad...and the ad. froze..see that before too..rebooted..watch another ad. and this time every thing worked as it should..I do  trust that they gets the bugs out of the game..soon!!....

   A table looking for a style..any given hand you might see the flop for a check/call/min-raise of the blind blind..and the next someone would have a pocket Ace/any pair/or two paint and splash the pot pre-flop..sometimes a continuation..sometimes not..and there was the player who every time it seemed that there was a mixed board..maybe three to a straight or flush or an Ace..and no really money in the pot would after the river bet 100K or all-in..I knew what he was doing..the  raise was far to predictable..he was trying to "buy the pot"..but never caught a hand where I was willing to call..in point of fact never caught a hand..period..except for a late rivered flush..5 blind pots..and one was a split pot..the only bright spots were the 16 hands & 10K+ missions..and I minimized the losses....
