What up

So, I hear this thing has been updated. I'm not sure what implication the addition of comments has on the comment system I already had in place. Not that it matters too much.

Since I'm already here, I may as well mention that I won a poker tournament today, which was kind of exciting. 23 players, which makes it my biggest win by a good margin. Luck was definitely on my side, especially in the heads up portion, where I was dealt AA on the second hand of heads up play (against a much better player). I bet, he went all in with A5, I called and won. After that he was down to 100 chips when the blinds were 1200/600, and the rest was a formality.

There were a number of other exciting hands, as my stack was up and down all night. Early on I was low on chips after raising a guy and then calling his all-in bet when I had 88 and he had 22. At the final table I was briefly the big stack after quadrupling up on a hand where I and one other guy were both all in. I won that one with A5 and a 5 on the board. The guy who was eliminated had A4 with a 4 on the board. Out of four players, no one had better than a pair of fives. Soon after I was back down to 500 chips (with three players and 11500 total chips) after making a big bet with 85 after a 76 came up on the flop. The next guy bet all in and I decided to call (1700 chips with 5700 already in the pot). I didn't get my straight, but the other guy (who had t9) did. On the very next hand I again tripled up based on a t9 which turned into two pair after all the money was in the pot. In this hand, the community cards were dealt from the wrong deck (by a guy who had already been eliminated from the tournament). We eventually agreed that the results would stand because there was really no good way to resolve the situation. I felt somewhat less bad because the guy who won neither main pot nor side pot also was the guy with the worst hand pre-flop, which was when the money went in. Shortly after that I won more chips with AJs and eliminated the third player, which put me in the position where I had roughly half the total chips starting heads up play.
