Fair enough.
I feel like this is all pretty results-oriented. If the coin flip had gone the other way, I'd be the happy one. But it didn't work this time, so that's life.
Oh, and...

And the bluff earlier was not psychotic, I knew the pot was mine before the river.

I do want to say that this was a pretty brilliant play. And the dude busted out on the next hand and was almost certainly tilting. It's a brilliant play every time except the time when he calls and you're out of the tournament, but still -- nice balls, ClaytonN. Nice balls. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
You play a different style than I do. And more power to you, it looks like you play it pretty well.
