I had the greatest set of two hands today to end the tournament online. We just got to heads up and the guy had about 1/3 of the stack size I had.
First hand:
I was dealt 6 9 off suit, and checked to see the flop. It came Q Q K and he checked. I threw in a pot sized bet and got him to fold. I showed him the bluff as I mucked my cards.
Second hand:
He waited about 20 seconds to make his bet, so I knew he was steaming. I came over the top pre-flop and bet most of his stack. Luckily, i was dealt AK off suite so I went all in. He called with an A8 off suit. He didn't draw out on me and I won the tournament.
It was the perfect setup of me showing a bluff at the right time, then getting a dominating hand in the next hand while the opponent is steaming.
Doesn't happen so easily very often :)

We had the EA Christmas party a couple of weeks ago and had an absolute blast.
They provided day care for the first so many people to respond and luckily we got a spot for our son. This was the first time he's been with a group of strangers like this, so we were prepared to not get to stay very long. But man did he surprise us. He was there from 8pm to midnight and had an absolute ball. The ladies asked us if we gave him a Redbull before we dropped him off. He was apparently the life of the party.
As for the party, I was in the process of getting over a bad stomach flu... I had only eaten once a day for the previous 4 days. They had so much awesome food from every corner of the world, so I had to try some things :) After eating we met up with some friends and went to the casino they had set up and played blackjack for the rest of the night. A Sammy Davis Jr. impersonator dropped by our table and said he had a gift card for the winner of the next hand. Luckily the dealer busted, so we ALL won :)

I don't know what it is that makes me go so long without posting anything here.
I haven't made a new year's resolution in years...but i think I'm going to make one to post here at least once a week from now on.
