hokm evening!

last night we had a bit of a hokm and food-get together. and as always, it was good food and good play. I prefer these kinda things much more than general get-together-put-on-some-music-and-dance, because now you can at least talk a bit and hear each other. and there's obviously a lot of more thought that goes into it...

my flatmate and I teamed up, as always, and we started off really well. at 2-1 up, we turned a 1-6 hands deficit to a 7-6 win (which was btw the second time we did something like that). the next hand, we cotted them (win 7 hands in a row). so we had a 5-1 lead and thought everything was good, but somehow lost it all. 5 consecutive games (got cotted once), and the result was 7-5 to them. and our short analysis of those games gave a simple answer: there was nothing we could've done in any of the games - our cards were too bad.

next on our agenda? revenge.

skip a bit and we were losing again, 6-3 down, and but managed to win that hand. at 6-4 we cotted them, and managed to win the last game as well. a well-deserved (?) 7-6-win, and we left the place happy. I think this is something that we'll keep up for quite some time - you can't really grow tired of hokm :)
