The poker gods finally smiled on me!

took down the 500 lastnight. finally! my first non-freeroll/non-satellite MTT win in about 3 yrs of play online. the gods definitely smiled on me, had 2 sick hands - one was allin preflop w/JJ vs. AA and flopped J. Other was my AA allin pre vs. 99 but she flopped the 9 on me, but the 2345 hit the board to give me the miracle straight.

I thought I was going to be punished for being nice. my heads up opponent got disconnected. As much as I wanted to win, I didn't want to have it happen that way so I tried to run the clock to give him a chance to re-connect. He finally did with only about 55k in chips. But then he proceeded to double up 3 hands in a row all in preflop with me holding the lead. I really thought I was going to blow it but fortunately the river on hand #4 gave me the win.

now if I can just win my next one on sunday... :)
