37 minute $3.50 match lol

Not a huge deal but for me it's a nice thing for my mental game. I usually would have got angry and made big mistakes 15-20 minutes into such a clownfest.

15 more hands of him bleeding down again, then the final two are a standard shove w/ KTo over his limp w/ 10bb at 40/80 (he folds), then next hand blinds go up to 50/100 and I shove J8o over his 8bb, he calls and loses w/ KQo

Probably nothing interesting to you veterans of the game, but it was my first real grind grind grind away match where you can't get any value out of them unless you have a monster vs. lesser monster, and I'm just glad I kept my composure when I couldn't hit much most of the game.
