The Streak is Over

My 2nd place streak in $4/180 mans is now over at 5. About damn time. I sucked out pretty hard a couple times in this one, the most significant time when I isolated a short stacks open ship with 6's, got called by the BB who covered with T's. Short stack had JJ, I win both side and main pot by flopping a set, and getting to 50k.

After that I played pretty conservatively but with points of aggression. I never dropped below 40k after that hand. Got HU with 77k to villain's 193, but got paid off a couple times pretty big when I flopped the nut straight and 2 pair and he just called down both times. Here is the final hand, after about 30-40 hands of HU. Finally win a flip. Felt nice.
