Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

[+53*F....sunny....winds: northeast@6 mph....humidity: 82%....barometer: 30.32" /\ ]
    Logged om to play some Poker @05:45.....watched an ad.....collect "42'K house money".....and the same routine as yesterday....tried for a table....got no table....played some solitaire....repeat....ditto....@06:09....found a chair at a 1K/.5K blind table with the /usual 125K max-buy-in.....an 8 handed game....although players came and went it was for most hands a table set for 8....a couple of hands with all 9 "chairs" full....and least number was 6 players....if you don't count the spinning hour glasses....to sum up the session....the "blind raccoon" had a decent day....the Trollie not so much....but at least the blind raccoon shares what he finds....
   To begin with and for about the first 30 minutes or so was a good table....very little pre-flop insanity....you could see most flops for a call of the blinds or a reasonable min-raise....and I was getting good looks in the hole....but either couldn't hit a flop or when I did it was a small piece....bottom pair....or a couple times four to a straight....called reasonable raises....missed the turn....and decided not to chase....which as it turned out was the right call....and then the kamikaze came....and it was revealed that 3 or 4 other the other players were dive bombers....and in this maelstrom of insanity....on the button....looking at pair of Aces....just calls of the blinds....until to my immediate right....an all-in for 15K....with a what the hey....had it covered....called....but small & big blind called as well...rest of the table folded....but no betting after the flop/turn/river....and the blind raccoon found a small dumpster....around 70K +/-....later I had pocket Threes....flopped the trips....and the blind raccoon bumped into a garbage can and had a snack....in the wake of the multiple kamikaze raids....the big winner....right around 400'K in his stack....appointed himself "table captain".....and started to make pre-flop raises on almost every hand....and from my POV....unreasonable....the hour was approaching and I departed....ergo....60 minutes played....54 hands played....66.67 seconds/hand....2 wins....1 out of every 27 hands....left with an extra 44,450$....[no slots]....
