She was close to even if you didn't suck out on her in the last hand. You Bastard! Nice going, great way to treat a lady.Congrats on the big win for your Packers (what a pass rush!) and on your great win. How long did the tourney take?

I like the Q6 hand. Would have played it the same way. What's with wierd bets? Is this something she was doing throughout?10/15/07

Yeah, I was doing it when we were 3+ handed but when we got HU it was just too much of a pain and I'm lazy so I started making it normal numbers again. She had been doing it all tourney though.10/15/07

Feeling Better... Much Better
by BadgerPro on 10/15/07
This is the first day where I've actually started to feel good. Still have a pretty wicked headache but it's much better than where I was at before.This Sunday started out great as the Packers pulled out a close win and the Bears lost a heartbreaker... awwwww. :) But then I started to play poker and it started to go down hill. I started out by losing $500 in cash games as I lost all 3 of my the flips I was in (and I had the 55% end too). I could tell I was frustrated though and that I wasn't playing my best anymore so I called it quits for the day and went back to football.
I then sweated my roommate to a win in the early $109r on Stars and was motivated to play a few tournaments as he's been having some great success lately. (He also won a seat in the $650 satellite to the PCA on Saturday.) So being all motivated to play doesn't help much when it's too late to get in most of the decent tournaments. I remembered that Cake Poker has late registration in their tournaments and I was able to get into their $100k guaranteed tourney which was a $55r. So after getting into that for $250 I quickly busted out right after the rebuy period... why did I want to play tourneys?!?
Just when I was about to say screw poker again and watch the baseball playoffs and the SNF game I figured I jump in the Stars $50 -$50k guaranteed tourney and the $33r to the PCA satellite that started a little later. I got deep in the $50k and with 100 left lost with AQ to J7o for a top 15 stack when the guy 4bet all in with absolutely no fold equity. However, the day finished amazing though as I went on to win the PCA satellite!!! I had a great HU battle to finish the tournament . It lasted 77 hands, which is a lot considering there were about 80BBs in play when we got HU. I started with a 2:1 chip lead and at one point was down 3:2. I fell into a rhythm though and got a really good feel for my opponent and came back to dominate it at the end. I''ll post a few of the HU hands at the end.
I was lucky enough to win a seat last year in the $650 last chance tourney and it was an amazing vacation so I am ridiculously psyched right now to be heading down there again. It's also nice to get the monkey off my back early this year instead of winning a seat last minute. One of my buddy's from Madison won a seat in the $33r on Monday night too so there are already 3 of us heading down there. Not gonna lie that I was a little worried when him and my roommate already had a seat. Puts a lot of pressure on a guy.
A few HU hands:
My low point... calling with Q high is not good!!! (I can here Alex Powers now):

She had just taken the chip lead for the first time after winning 7 hands in a row and had me on tilt. I'm not sure why but somehow that hand got me off tilt. I laughed at my call, asked myself "wtf Andy", and took a deep breath.
I wasn't a believer on the flop:

Yeah, I'm a calling station:

(ok that's pretty standard but I am a station)
Let's get a nail in the coffin:
