-Cook's account of our lack of a deal is pretty spot on. I wasn't aware he actually offered me a 55/45 of chip-chop - I thought he was just spouting his supposed edge on me.
-Cook and I have a last longer for every event we play in together. Up until yesterday, Brendan was 0 for 5 during WSOP($2k LHE, $3k HORSE, $1.5k HORSE, $2.5k 8-game, $2.5k 2-7), and something like 1-12 lifetime. I finished 2nd in a 548 player tournament and lost a last longer.
-We got to 6 handed and Cook was as low as 150k(1/3 starting) for a long period. We went off to dinner and he proceeded to win every pot after dinner.

During this time he made a hudge hero fold to Schneids that went unposted by Pokernews:
Tate opens in MP, Schneids 3b OTB, Cook 4b in BB with KK, Tate folds.
Flop: 43
2
Cook bets, Schneids raises, Cook calls.
Turn: 3o
Cook c/r/tank/folds.
Schneids said he had AA later.(plz be lying and have had A9, Cook needs some humble pie) This is amazing if you know Cook because he NEVER FOLDS.(and also why I don't mind posting it on the internet) He played great start to finish and ramped it up hudge when everyone else had to deal with ICM 4 handed. Come out for his bracelet ceremony tomorrow at 2:30pm.
-I remember when I first started lurking 2p2 I would read Schneids posts in the HSLHE forum. While my poker goals have moved on from being a nosebleed limit player, it was still pretty fearsome to play against Schneids for the first time. The guy is still the man for LHE and he is hudge class act. When I busted him in 5th he apologized to me for getting there against me in a couple hands. I remember thinking "Dude, the most tilting thing ever just happened to you, and you're apologizing to me?" I have a great respect for players that are not only elite skill-wise but well-mannered/got the tilt in check. Kudos.
-I feel like I played well the 1st half of the FT, but somewhat meh the 2nd half. I don't know if it's because the money/atmosphere started to get to me or because Terrance and Schneids were no longer on my left, making me think harder. Pokernews finally got a hand right. http://www.pokernews.com/live-report...693.htm?page=2
My turn bet is bad. I don't know what I was thinking besides "My hand is pretty" and "Maybe he has 99(which I can't get 2 streets from anyways)" I was going to fold the river UI with 2BBs left, raise only a flush, and instead I bink 2pair. I did have 13 outs, but I think someone ICMed it and told me that card made me $70k in equity. LOL DONKAMENTS.
-2 years ago I had a mid 5-figure bankroll coming out of college/deciding to go pro and punted it with poor money management/losing in poker. I didn't do anything particularly degen, it just bled and I lived way above my means. I lost 200BBs at 40/80 live somehow over the course of a couple months while trying to live the baller lifestyle. By the beginning of this year, I was in debt ~$15k and had just worked myself out of it when WSOP started. I don't want to brag but I'm proud that I paid everyone back in full. I resisted the urge to take any shortcuts(People kept giving me $3k wads with $3.1k in them and Cook kept stating my debt was lower than what it was and stuff like that) or forget about any of my debts. (Pudge kept asking me why I said I owed him $125.) I just kept grinding, never complained about "running bad" and spent a ton of time working on my games.
I would like to thank the people who have ever bought a piece of me and trusted me with $$$ when I was busto. Congratz to everyone who had a piece of this one.
I would like to dedicate my finish to Card08, Cook, gobbo, bugstud, and bakku and for being dumb enough to support me the past couple of years. Wouldn't have gotten back here without you guys.
