Poker at Adrian's


Last night we played poker at Adrian's stylish but dimly lit flat. In attendance were Nik, Rafi, Eric, Adrian, Ariel, Gary and Yossi. There was food, drink (no real coke, much to Gary's disappointment) and plenty of nosh. Quite a lot of cards got played too.
As you can see from the graph, little really changed. Adrian is still marooned way off the bottom. Gary lost more money than he's ever lost before at poker (all 75 of his shekels) and dropped below Eric (the shame of it!).
Just when we thought that it wasn't possible, Adrian introduced us to a new fuck up last night - the returning a chip instead of your cards fuck up. That was quite good. They other one wasn't really his fault, but he still did fuck up. Yoss somehow dealt himself and Adrian five cards. Seeing as we were playing the four card game you can see how that might have been a problem. Yossi noticed. Adrian didn't. In fact, he was very pleased with the excellent hand he had been dealt. We laughed and laughed. Now that I come to write this, I'm not sure why we laughed so much, but we did. So it must have been very funny.
Eric made a great comeback from nearly losing all his money to actually finishing the evening shekels in. Well done Eric!
And that's about it. There's nothing else I can remember. Apart from the things I have mentioned, nothing else about the evening was in any way noteworthy or memorable or remarkable at all.
Scores were:
Nik -3
Gary -75
Ariel -30.5
Yoss 2.5
Raf 39
Adrian 44.5
Eric 22.5

Poker at Eric's

Last night poker was at Eric's. Rafi and his brother were there. Maybe Eric's brother was there. Adrian was there. Yossi was there. Jonah was there.
There were all sorts of shenanigans when it transpired that Yossi had forgotten the chips in Tel Aviv. Eventually spare chips were located in Gary's place. Phew.
The decision was taken to play with 2 identical decks. This lead to much confusion and general hilarity.
The graph tightened up a bit, with the top two leaders both losing. That doesn't include Adrian, who lost even more money.
Adrian thinks poker is at his next week, so that's something to look forward to already.
Scores on the doors:

Adrian -30
Eric 45.5
Rafi -12
Yossi -19.5
Jonah -24
Ariel 40

Poker at Jona's



Last night we assembled at Jona’s sparsely furnished home. Nik, Adrian, Rafi, Jonah, Gary, and Yossi were Jona’s guests. Jona made sausages. Not sausages and chips, or sausages and onions. Just sausages. However, there was plenty to drink and snack on.
The evening started with a flush fuck up performed by Adrian (who else?). Thus he carried on his form from previous weeks. In fact, just so as to make it even clearer to us all, I have made his line on the graph thicker and added the values to it. By the end of the evening, Adrian was not finding poker much fun at all. Everyone else was though. Adrian nearly got into a fight with Yossi.
Nik did an original fuck up last night too: instead of waiting for the fifth card to be dealt and absolutely bleeding Rafi dry (three aces), he showed his pocket kings (full house) after only the fourth card. He took the pot, but was left to rue what might have been…
Jona was expecting a guest at midnight, but they didn’t arrive. Shame.
The scores on the doors last night were:
Adrian -125
Gary 67
Adrian -125
Nik 41.5
Rafi -43.5
Adrian -125
Yossi 71.5
Jona 21
Adrian -125
Jonah -33.5
Adrian -125
