I beat timprov in a tough match. He had me all in early on, but I caught some lucky breaks to come back.

Did you feel like I was tilting at all at the end? I didn't at the time, but right now I'm feeling the closest to it I've ever been. Somewhat justifiably, I think, as that was a pretty huge collapse.

If anything, I think you got less aggressive and more straight forward toward the end. I won a lot of pots uncontested which I did not do early on.

Before that, you were the most aggressive person I have played so far. I ended up completely changing my strategy to try to deal with you aggression.

I thought it was a pretty interesting match actually in that I think we both made some strategic adjustments during the match.

You are a good player - I see why you won your first three.

I think I made the adjustment to straightforward just when I wanted to. Then I started missing 90% of flops, and by the time I felt the need to readjust I didn't have the chips for it. Plus I think you limped into my BB about 25 times, and only twice did I hit anything.

okay, I guess you didn't tilt then. I was just trying to answer the question you asked me.

Sorry if I sounded defensive; I didn't mean to.

Don't worry about it. My post didn't really come out the way I wanted it too. Obviously, I got really lucky to come back from where I did. I wasn't trying to imply otherwise.

You also played pretty darn well. Several times I was thinking "this is a bad fold, but I'm going to make it anyway," which is a sign you had me nicely confused.

I just wanted to explain why I was folding all those flops at the end, which you seemed to wonder about.
