DUDE'S MOJO

I was in a giddy mood today after winning that tournament. I took the kids out to celebrate and I jokingly swore that I would never change my shirt since it was the first time I'd ever worn it. Tonight after dinner, I got into the 8PM tourney and was out within half an hour. I played perfectly fine but kept getting rivered. I figured I still had my mojo so I signed up for the $50 Rebuy at 830PM. Five and a half hours later, I have my second victory on the day. This one was good for over $7k to make for a five-digit day. I got extremely lucky on a number of occasions at the final table but it all worked out. I was the chip leader going into final table play and went card dead for a long while until I was the baby stack with six remaining. Lots of patience and luck later and I was heads up with a 1:3 disadvantage. I played judo poker as Tom would say, using my opponent's aggressiveness against him. I took the chip lead and he began raising every pot preflop. I called with QT and the flop came T43. He put in a pot sized bet and I minraised. He figured me for a tiny pair I guess, so he jammed with Q8. I called and was happy to see the situation. Even the Q on the turn couldn't hurt me and it was all over one card later. I might need to go buy more shirts like this - it is the first XL I have ever bought after decades of L. And therein lies the mojo.
