Poker at Ariel's

Last night we played poker at Ariel's. You'd be forgiven for thinking we were at Gary's, but no, we were definitely at Ariel's. Adrian and Jona weren't there. Ariel served home made meat pies. Proper cooking. Real home cooking. The first time anyone has really done proper home cooking. I had a veggie pie and it was lovely. It had a nipple on the top.

Looking at the chart you can see that Adrian managed not to increase his losses (by not coming), while Yossi and Jonah increased their lead at the top. Eric made a mild gain, but Nik, Ariel, Gary (all losing over 30 shekels) and Rafi lost ground. No real f$ck ups of note this week, except a couple of misdeals in the haste towards the end.

Jonah amused us greatly with his army stories. We were all pleased our tax money is spent so wisely.

Eric amused us when he got a phone call at 11.40pm from a man who sounded like a woman and who had a photo of Eric running the Tiberias Marathon (or should we say, Marathon Tiberias The 28th). He wanted to send it to Eric. So Eric had to spell his name. This took a while. Then the guy who sounded like a woman tried to sell Eric a CD with 400 photos from the race. Eric got the giggles and managed to end the call, though at the cost of his dignity.

First outdoor poker of the year - that fact is definitely worth a mention.

The scores were:

Jonah 67.

Yoss 48

Eric 13

Nik -30.5

Ariel -43.5

Gary -32.5

Rafi -17
