#1
yeah, it was a bargain to limp for half price with 83s, but now that I hit a pair of 8s, surely this becomes playable, right?)
#2 i see these guys every week. i can outplay them postflop.

#3 "the old lady's home. i'll steal a few blinds, make a big score next orbit, and leave here up a little bit."

#3 is discipline. it gets late, i get impatient and call off half my stack with ace high (and a runner-runner nut flush draw, god dammit, the implied odds were too good to pass up. i knew he tens full. but i had to know for sure.)
