RIVERS AGAIN

 TODAY WAS A FINE DAY.

Son Peter and I drifted on Burden Lake for most of the morning in the pontoon.

It was a fine day.

One other boat, a blowup boat for a fisherman.

Then we had a nice lunch at Siam restaurant in East Greenbush. Thai food. I love this place. I had a recipe called, "ducks in love"

Then I went for an afternoon of poker at Rivers Casino.

A seat a the NL table was a long wait, but I like the one that I was assigned.

I also was more on my game.

I did not get any wonder cards, except when My pocket Aces tripped up on the flop. I needed to get money in the pot. I just bet five dollars. My two opponents folded. Had I got $30 in the pot and the fourth queen, I would have had a high hand for $600.

I went all-in with pocket Aces, hoping to just force the rest out. One guy with less money called me, but did not beat me.

I played until I got a bit tired, and then I quit. I especially did not like it that one of the newer players was just raising almost every preflop. He acted two players behind me. I like to play a flop game.

I called his raise just before I left, mostly because I was frustrated. Not a good motivation, as I did not hold much. But he held less and so I was happy.

Earlier I had a seat next to an old fellow who constantly hummed under his breath.

So annoying!

I finally changed my seat.

Next I played video poker and the game kept throwing quads at me. I was never behind my buy-in. I left with a profit of $350. The live poker had netted me $57, so I ended up $457 for the visit.

And I managed to be home before dark
