Random Thoughts

Don't know if it's a good thing or not that I can't relate to either the excessive drinking or excessive studying that is being discussed in this thread.

it's probably cultural. drinking is pretty much the british national pastime.
 
Went to the beach today. Was very hot and sunny. Had a good time.
 
on a bit of a heater pokerwise.

Early hours of this morning (around 5am i guess it finished) I took 2nd in a tournament for 245 dollars. Bit galling as I check raised all in on the flop with bottom pair and a flush draw, he calls with two overs, and only 4 outs. obviously the board runner runner double paired for him to win the extra 145 dollars, despite being a 15% dog.

the other day I won a 5 dollar rebuy for 392 dollars, 90odd runners.

played that tournament again today, only 80 odd runners but just split it at the final two for 258.

up about 1000 dollars in 4-5 days. boom.
 
Played tape ball cricket today. They scored 280 in 20 overs, we fell just short - I was last man with 26 needed to win in 11 balls and top edged one.

Fun stuff. I've missed this.
 
we just play tennis ball cricket on concrete/grass, we used to play with those heavy tennis balls but after one of my mates got hit in the nuts twice... that stopped happening. :p
 
Love the heavy tennis ball. Can play proper cricket shots with it, not the whack and slogs and powerful drives that you need with tape ball. Backfoot punches or lofted shots go nowhere, and timing isn't as effective as bashing.


Insanely windy in Dubai now, awesome weather. Typhoon-esque sandstorm. Lovin it.
