And now I have read Dr Fro's post... and I feel compelled to give props to my landlord again.

Chris and I both started at the same table - with Ted. As soon as I got the news, I was quite irritated because it meant that I wouldn't be able to dominate the action. I was scared to play with Ted, because, while Ted isn't a good player, he does introduce volatility to the game and I don't like volatility because that means that my chances of being unlucky just went up.

Chris, on the other hand, was about as excited as he could be when he got the news. He saw it the otherwy - as an opportunity to be lucky . This is because he figured Ted was like a free extra stack of chips - pick your spots right and Ted's chips are your chips and BOOM you're on your way to the final table. Chris recognized this and was rightly excited. He didn't up winning Ted's stack directly from Ted, but he did end up winning them eventually through other players at the table. It happened just as he was hoping.

I gotta give credit where credit is due. He had the right attitude and he took advantage of the good fortune. He needed a little luck and he got a lot of it. Congrats to Chris, he deserved it.

(now, about next month's rent...)
