Wow, that was a really satisfying win.

I grind him down a bunch and then:

No biggie. imo, he isn't playing very well and I grind him down again and then:

Again on the river. Arghh. Again, no problem, I wear him down some more and then:

This time it's for enough chips that despite my percieved edge vs. him, I probably won't come back. Add in the first two river suckouts, and now I'm pretty angry,
