Poker room moved, High limit slots moved

My local casino moved the poker room out of the poker room and moved it near the front door where video poker slots used to be. They moved the high limit slots that used to be behind the high limit BJ tables and moved the slots to the former poker room which is a nice touch. I didn't really want to go through a glass door into the the high limit Black Jack room to look at high limit slots. They've added more table games where the high limit slots used to be, but I didn't go in to see what they were since the place was deserted but for a couple dealers at one table. The front door to the casino has added a metal detector for weapons detection. Guns are not allowed in the casino! So keep them in your cars if that's legal.
I spent a whole few minutes reading the display on an empty poker table at the dealer station. It said $1-$3 NL Hold'em, Buy-ins are $100-$300 but can be 100% of the highest chip stack. Rake is 10% up to $6 then $1 per $100 up to $10 total at a $400 pot. There were 4 tables that were full on a Friday night, but I think the old poker room had better much lighting for those with poor eyesight. This place is dark with next to no overhead lights. Of course there are Bad Beat competitions every hour, but they used to be advertised on a big TV screen in the old poker room; I didn't notice that here, or I wasn't paying attention. Poker rooms are not places I hang out at yet, it's not even a tourist thing I walk through. But it's next to the theater now so every weekend there will be streams of people walking by the poker area going to and from the theater. I kept misspelling theater as threater because Caroline Rhea will be performing there soon, lol.
I still have my WSOP 2008 game for the PS3 that I can play, but the virtual players make insane bets and from what I've seen online, real players are notoriously bad bettors. I think I'd do better with limit Omaha Hold'em or 7 card stud, but old games from 20 years ago are probably not in a casino anymore.
I wear glasses now. I don't know how poker players can wear glasses without other people seeing their cards in their glasses.
When I was driving home at 2 in the morning I ran into a heavy rainstorm. It was raining so hard I had to slow down to 30 mph and put on my hazard lights. There was rolling fog coming off the road from the rain and it was up to 20 feet high. I don't think I've seen this kind of fog with a rainstorm before; I've seen it after a rainstorm when the sun starts evaporating things. It's just so steamy out at 65 degrees. I got home and tried to find this storm on my Weatherbug app. It was not there until half an hour after I went through it and it was in another county. There was absolutely no sign of this storm on radar, it just popped up out of nowhere later.
