dont get too carried away mate, all i've done is recover the losses from the last 5 months - still a way to go yet Smiley

great result btw matt.

dont like the limp at all though

When we first got heads up i had decent chip lead and my opponent was just shoving at every available opportunity either preflop or on the flop so with the first one i was just calling hoping he shoved pre. When he checked but then bet the flop i knew he'd hit a piece and just tried to milk it. Once he'd doubled up he got a bit more passive which allowed me to start taking hands with preflop raise or just betting out whatever came on the flop. The two hands were only about a minute or so apart but i'd still managed to take about 3 or 4 pots without him fighting back. If i showed all the hands heads up you'd see that i didnt limp all the time Smiley
