So much to say, so little time to say it. Sunday was a great tournament for me. I chipped up early and often, gathering just one bounty, but short stacking a couple of players. When we got to the final table I was in great shape, probably 3rd or 4th biggest stack. As we got down to 4, I suggested a bubble refund which everyone agreed to (Barbara & Rob). Barbara had the big stack and Rob was close behind. After a couple of disasters with her, I finally knocked him out. With the smaller stack I suggested a chop with her getting $30 more. First paid $540, and second was around $330. She refused. O.K. by me, just trying to reduce my variance. I play a lot of heads up on line and figured I had the advantage (except for luck, which she had in ample supply). A few hands later I had turned the tables and now had the big stack. I waited patiently and when she min raised with 8/8, I called on the button with 9/5. With a 9 high flop, she bet, I raised her all in and the game was over. Nice day at the office. I really feel that Karma was my friend. Oh, and I collected a total of 5 bounties, including Barbara's.

The bounties alone almost paid for your tournament - way to go! It amazes me at times how lucky Barbara is. I'm glad you won.
