A Night On The Razz

I do insist on doing these things to myself, don't I? Didn't get to bed last night until after 06.00 due to entering a poker tournament last night (or was it this morning?) Admittedly it was a freeroll so it's not as if I was risking any money on it, and it was a different style of poker than the kind you've probably seen played. Not many people have heard of Razz, and my brain's too tired to give a thorough explanation of the game, but basically you're trying to get the five lowest cards you can out of a possible seven, Aces count as the lowest, and pairs are no good. And I enjoyed the game very much, finishing 538th out of 7,500 starters. Nowhere near good enough to get paid, but enough to beat 92% of the field, which would normally get you paid in a tournament. Added to the fact that I'd been playing for three and a half hours by this time, and Saturday night had well and truly become Sunday morning, and that may explain why I didn't get any further.

I will play Razz again, that much is definite!

I also will have to get my brain back in gear fairly soon as I'm going to visit my parents & my sister Cat later this afternoon and staying over there tonight - something you really have to be on top form to cope with. Thankfully GroupieGirl will be coming with me, and she's baking scones to take with her. We had some last night and they're not bad... not bad at all...
