Yah.... tzee!

Viki & I decided to have a few games of Yahtzee last night, as part of our ongoing war...

The score now stands at:

38 - 33

in my favour, of course!

So, let's see... that's Yahtzee AND Poker I'm winning at...

What's that? Scrabble? Er... let's not mention Scrabble...

Er... Let's Not...

My dear blog readers... you who have followed the ongoing battles in both poker and yahtzee that Viki and I have embarked on... tonight you find me in a state hitherto unknown to me...

Viki mentioned something about Scrabble a week or so ago, and today I went and bought a set, having lost (or possibly thrown out) my set when I moved house last year.

So... we've played 3 games tonight... and I'm LOSING!!!!!!

This can't be happening to me! It's not fair!

She won the first game (despite claiming that I would have to help her out with the rules... I suspect she's not such a novice as she made out)... I won the second (despite managing to pick Q, Z, J, Y, X and F amongst my selections)... but she cheated - er, I mean WON the third game!

I think there will be a return battle tomorrow night... wish me luck...

Dice-ing With Defeat...

As a bit of a change from the Poker Wars that Viki & I are embroiled in (and which I'm winning), I decided to introduce Viki to Yahtzee (thinking I could win at it as well).

Well, the student has (temporarily) overtaken the Master... after a couple of games with me giving "guidance", she has picked it up quickly... and the score after 30 games is...

15 - 14

to her with one draw.

Still, at least she's magnanimous in her victory and didn't rub my nose in my defeat... too much. She did stand in the middle of the living room floor doing a "victory dance" though!

I have one thing to say, Viktória... My Time Will Come!

The Chips Are Down

There's been a couple of nights of poker in the tournament between me & Viki again, with the poker chips that we bought with some of the money that we got from my brother at Christmas this time, and not matches...

But of course, one thing hasn't changed... I'm still winning!

The score is now:

18 - 13

in my favour... although Viki has managed to claw one back (well, I have to let her win occasionally).

The Worm Is Turning...

Tonight there were 3 games of poker played... and I only won one of them!

So, now the score stands at...

16 - 12

Mivan!

And how sulkie was I to throw away a seven in favour of higher cards (keeping one seven because I was hoping for a flush), only to pick up another 2 sevens, which would have been quite a good winning hand!? I didn't win that hand with the cards I was left with! Ideg!

This Post Should Have Been Called "Oh, Fuck"...

...if Viki had had her way and won the poker games tonight!

However, tonight's games resulted in a 2 - 2 draw (although I claim a moral victory because I didn't bluff, cheat, or try to hide aces in my hair with kirbygrips... did I, Viki?), so now our overall scores are:

15 - 10

In my favour, of course!

So, just for her, here's a lolcat I spotted on i can has cheezburger a couple of days ago... I can't credit the creator, I'm afraid, coz it says "Dunno Source", but it's got a poker theme:

The Gods Of Poker....

have deserted me, and defected to Viki's side!

For the score has gone from being 10 - 6 to...

13 - 8

So, yes... I still won most of the games tonight - but Viki is getting sneakier, and among her lucky breaks tonight was beating my pair of kings (that I'd bet a good number of matches on) with a pair of aces! And then there was the time I folded, and she ended up winning with a pair of 5's when I folded my pair of 7's!

I didn't want to leave it overnight with me on *whispers*12+1, but I'm too tired to attempt to play another match... and the way Viki's playing now, I would still be here tomorrow morning with the score at 13 to me, and 46 to her! So I am quitting while I'm (only just) ahead!

A Special Cat Spot For Viki...

The Great Poker Battle...

From 7 - 2, we went to 9 - 3... but, unfortunately, tonight saw a slight dip in my fortunes, and the score is now...

10 - 6

However, I did manage to out-sneak the sneaker when I came home from work today... I completely missed the washing-up liquid spread on the living room door handle, as the door was ajar, and I just pushed it open with my foot (my hands were full) - You'll have to try better than that, Viki!

Poker Update...

That which was 7 - 2 is now...

9 - 3

and my twin victories tonight included a straight AND a flush!

I'm dreading what is planned for me tomorrow morning as revenge... *gulp*

Beginner's Luck?

Ladies and gentlemen, the score in the great poker battle is now.....

*Drum Roll*

7 - 2

and, obviously, I'm winning!

It's not without its dangers though... First there was the sock in my bag... then poor RDJ got his "Kojak" makeover... and this morning there was the box of matches in my shoe (which I spotted, removed, and foolishly said "Hah! I'm too good for you... I spotted them!" - and then left the room, came back in, and put my foot in my other shoe - only to discover that she'd slipped a peedier box of matches in that shoe!)

I won't let it stop me winning though... I'm not scared of her...

*Gulp*

I'm Not Saying Viki's A Bad Loser, But...

...this is what she had done to my beloved by the time I came home last night!

Honestly... just because she took it badly when I beat her twice!

I didn't expect her to carry out her threats though... I guess I should have, after I got to work and found a sock (thankfully clean) in my handbag!

So this is what poor Robert Downey Jr looked like on the cover of my "Iron Man" DVD after his style makeover turned him into Kojak!

ps. The score now stands at 4 - 2 after I had to let her win twice last night, just so she didn't sulk too much! :-P

Just Call Me "Cool Hand Ally"

LOL... Last night Viki taught me how to play poker (which I've never really played before... I have a vague memory of my brother explaining it to me when I was a kid, but I wouldn't even have been 10 year old) - and I took all her matches... not once, but twice!

So, to Viki (who is taking revenge on me already, and vowing to beat me in the grudge match tonight), I say...

And a song just for her... "Ace Of Spades" by Motörhead...
