Cooler

Fact of the matter is: I'm just on a cooler right now.

After losing with AQ vs AK early in CHIMPS, I was short stacked - down to 600 or so chips.  I played that short stack very well, picking my spots and finally doubling up to get over 1000. 

byteme continually raised from the button into my BB and I just waited for a hand to play back at him.  Of course he has a hand, but I catch a nice flop to take the lead and drop him down to three outs.
