Last week is “YEAHHHHHH”, this week is “ARGHHHHHHHH”…

That’s my reaction for my darts night. Well, maybe it’s more like a nightmare…

Just to clarify though, I didn’t play like a complete nightmare, actually I played quite well for a change, at least at the beginning of the matches.

So to begin, there are two teams from OCDA in the league, they are the A team (aka better) and the B team (beginner/sucky team). And we were playing against each other tonight.

For some reason, God damn team captain didn’t let me play Doubles 501, and seriously I want to stab him for it. Like stab him so FUCKING BAD. Basically if I am not playing Doubles 501, it means that I will have to play fucking cricket. Doesn’t he know now that I fucking hate cricket? That fucking bastard. Well at least there is some silver lining, since I am partnered with the team’s best player/veteran who doesn’t want to go to the A tean for some reason although he has A team skills. He is also my toy Mag’s father. xDDDDD (sorry have to put it in there lol) First game, we were playing very well, the other team played terrible. And my team won easily. Heck, I got two bulls in two sets (which is almost magic), and my second bull actually won the game. Second game…facepalm, got 9 darted (3 triples) which means 3 out of the 7 numbers are gone in one set, and lost by a rout. Third game…the other team was leading (closed 20, 19, 18 and leading in pts), but I manage to open a road by getting 4 17′s in one set. But I and my partner cooled down (like not just cool down, but more like ICE COLD), and well, my team lost. This really makes me think wtf is wrong with me since I played so well at the beginning…or maybe it was fluke since I did get two bulls in two sets. Well I guess my quota for bulls tonight is filled. It was disappointing to say the least since I really believe I can win. Needless to say I want to stab myself more than even David Law for this disaster. 17 and 19 are two of my most “automatic” singles, and yet besides that 4 17′s and the first game, they weren’t landing for me. Seriously i’s VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. Like so bad that I don’t want to play darts anymore.

And if you think that was bad…

Next up: Singles 501. I have to face this guy that I absolutely hate. Like hate so bad that I want to kill him the first second I see his damn face. His darts are better than me, so I guess it’s good to see how I measure against him. And to be serious, I really want to beat him for being such an ass. First game, I was playing pretty steady getting ~40 pts per set, but not good enough. Well I wouldn’t say it’s a bad loss since he only beat me by around ~150 pts. And he thinks I suck so bad that I will get owned by more than 200 pts. Well not happening. So second game. I opened with a 81 score, and my score ranged from 80~100 per set for the next few sets. I was leading him by more than 200 FUCKING points. However, when I was down to ~100 pts something, I fucking start to struggle for some reason. The lowest point was when I got 14 on two sets (ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH wtf it pains me to even type that) which allows him to get back to the game. So basically he overcame my lead, he was at 8 after his turn and I was at 31. So I said to myself: “there is still a chance for me to take this”. The first thing I told myself to do is to get to my favourite 18, which is exactly what I did by hitting 13. So now I have two chances to get to double 9 as long as I don’t screw up. Guess what, hit a god damn 12 on the next dart which left me with a 6 score.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I mean, it’s absolutely absolutely terrible. I really would rather hit a single 9 which means I am closer to double 9. I mean damn it, IT’S MY FAVOURITE DOUBLE 9 ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Absolute nightmare.

Although I was bitching at myself to no end, I have to go back to the current situation: I only have 1 dart left for the set, and my score is 6. Not exactly the best scenario to be in, but I guess it’s still better than having a single score since I would have no chance to win this set (since I need to get a double to win, and there are no doubled single numbers unless it involves decimals). So yes, I have 2 choices: go for the win (double 3) NOW, or hit a 4 so I can go for my favourite double 1 on my next set. Double 3 is not one of my strengths so I was seriously leaning to getting 4 and try winning next set. But then I ask myself: “What if there is no next set?” Well guess that’s the clincher and I have to go for double 3. I threw my dart…

Close, but outboard.

He checked his double 4 on his next set.

Trust me, it was a really depressing sight although I know I made the right choice to go for the win. I have my chance to beat him (even if it’s just 1 game), yet I let it slip away just like that. If I have a knife on me, I would have really commited seppuku right away. This is really the best single 501 game I have played so far and it’s still not good enough (I know I did bad at the end but I still have a chance…). It’s really, really depressing…

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It’s back to the drawing board again to figure out WTF went wrong. I don’t think I am going to touch anything darts related until Sunday at OCDA…
