About a Year after Mookie #2, I finally take down Mookie #3. The end game happened insanely fast. 7-handed seemed to take FOR-EV-ER, with tons of raise/fold hands going down. With lucko to my right, I had a hard time stealing since HE was stealing so often. Luckily, I had hoy and edgie, a couple of TAG players, to my left so when I did raise, they tended to give me respect.Edgie finally took a stand against me with 5-5, I was holding 9-8 of Diamonds. I think it's exactly 50-50, tho I might have a slight bit of equity. I bink the straight on the river with about 12 outs to hit (board was paired and all cards were above 5, and I had an OESD).
Then, I sat back and watched lucko and heffmike blow their loads all over the place, and when the dust settled, it was me and heffmike HU4title. I quickly got a double up when I called his shove for about 15bbs with A5o. He had KQs, outflopped me but I spiked an ace on the turn AND river. A few back and forth hands of nothing, and then we get to the final hand, which was a little interesting to say the least...

Eh it's a close race. I have 4 pair outs (non-spade Ace or King), 9 club outs. that's 13 outs to try and hit the river to win my third Mookie Title... So I'm about 28% to win... but wait a minute...
