Default Brag: Feels good to finally be a luckbox

These three hands happened in about a fifteen-hand stretch after we got heads up in the Full Tilt $15,000 Guaranteed Rebuy tournament early this morning. As someone who constantly complains about putting the money in good and getting drawn out on, I think this is my cue to STFU for awhile.

Note: Although I got it in with the best of it in hand #1, I was obviously fortunate to win after that flop.

Besides the last hand you never really put your money in behind... or too far behind.

Yeah I know. It wasn't that I was putting the money in as a huge dog, it's just that I hit such a perfect card all three times.

The second hand really surprised me. I thought he had at most one pair. I definitely expected an ace to be an out as well as the diamonds. I thought he was screwing around and I might even have the best hand. Seeing two pair really shocked me.

Lucky river, lucky river, lucky turn. It usually doesn't happen that way for me.
