oldbloke's mutterings

We have snow! Just a little, but it makes it that bit prettier. I'll be checking the web before setting off for Leeds, too: chance we may not go.

I still find it hard to believe, which is why it's taken me 5 days to mention it.
Last Thursday, at the poker game over in Edenfield, we had a round - not just one hand, for fun, but a whole round, 5 count them 5 deals, of...

Indian poker.

Yes: the one where everybody gets one card, you don't see your own but everybody else does, and then you bet. Single 10p blind, pot limit. I'm glad to say no hand had more than 1 raise.

I told them, if you're going to play daft stuff like this, even just as a christmas joke, next time I play I want a round of Chicago (7 card stud but with your lowest hole card wild).

The lad has diarrhoea. Hopefully it will just be a gut-emptier and then he'll be back to normal. Could be a bug, could be something he ate - I think I saw a piece of paper in it for a start! Ah well, he's pretty healthy most of the time, can't really complain.
