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

[+73*F....rain....winds: w/s/w@4 mph....humidity: 82%....barometer: 29.95"\/]
   @06:06 logged on to play some Poker....took a drop that was ready....watched an ad....."42'K house money....and immediately tried to find a "chair" at a 1K/.5K table and then a 200/100 table....no joy....
   @06:07 tied a 2K/1K table....got the whirling message....so logged off the site....logged right  back on and took a "seat" with my 250'K max-buy-in....a table of 4 players....virtually no delay & a short table....on a weekend....after the experiences of the last few weeks hard to believe....
   I must have "sat down" right after a massive battle....because two of the other players had about 1'M chips between them....and the 3rd had 125'K....so the next 20 hands or so turned into a showdown between the two....one got busted and the other left and after a couple of hands heads up....again a 4 handed game....from there until I left....never more that 5 players or less than 3....
   I did manage to win a few small blind pots....but the pace of play was quick....just too many blinds and missed flops....during this time a player arrived who randomly would splash the pots with huge bets....and sometimes  he had a hand and some times the pot was won by high card....and I stayed away from getting involve....I was down right around 25'K +/-.....small blind Queen/Four suited....saw the flop for just a call of the big blind....and flopped trip Fours.....the aforementioned player [he was on the button] raise 100'K....one look at the board and there was little there that  could beat me so I put him on "trying to buy the pot'....called....turn was a blank....he went all in....looked at the board still pretty sure I had him beat and called....pot was right around 300'K....river put three to a flush on the board but the trips held up....he didn't even have a pair....it had been an Ace bet....won a few more hands....no major pots....but twice rivered straights and once a house....so the river wasn't out to drown me today....[pause....drops to be attended too]....ergo....61 minutes played....90 hands played....15 winners....1 out of every 6 hands....left with an extra
$137,650$....[no slots]....
