hey guys,

thanks again for all the support and love. it's really great to see.

of course i'm disappointed but i actually feel like i played great. given the stack-to-blind ratio and the way the cards were dealt i didn't think there was anything i could do to avoid losing the chiplead. beyond that it was just one bizarre hand. i had played with him for hours the day before and in fact we were involved in a pot where he raised me on an 8864 board. at this point i went pretty deep in the tank as i am wont to do when i am seriously considering putting a ton of chips in. the good news for me is that the way the hand was played it made not much sense for him to have any sort of hand. the bad news was that this guy appeared to be very tight and incapable of much imaginative play from what i had seen, his favorite thing to do seemed to be tank and then fold. anyway afraid of making a huge mistake i ended up folding my ten high and he slammed the A7 bluff in my face. fair enough. so anyway, i felt pretty confident that he didn't want me to call.

i'll get em next time guys. thanks again.
