Thanks, everybody. Even without the part about winning, that was so much fun! You guys are great to play with. It's really nice to play with serious players.
And the chat was a hoot! I was cracking up half the time.
NewAlf almost took me out early on. I had KK, and another K showed up on the board. But so did 3 hearts, and a straight possibility. He went all in, and I was torn. Was he full of it? Were my trip kings good? Or had he made the flush or straight? I folded. I have to go back and see if I made the right call.
I never like to play too aggressive at first, but I kept getting the cards to do that. Then I hit a real lull in the middle of the game; nothing but rags. I got pretty worried a few times when I was waaaay down in chips.
I thought the heads up portion would last longer than it did. I was surprised when it lasted about 2 hands, I think. I wasn't too keen on Q with a weak kicker. But it was good enough.
I look forward to another enjoyable, exciting game next week, regardless of where I finish.
