$6.9k after the deal.
Well done, but I think the deal sucked if I am honest I think you should have just f*ck it and gone for first and all the money. I thought you were better than him.

OK now that I have slept I can explain why I went for the deal.
By the time we got 6 handed, I could slowly feel my mind drifting off out of focus. I got some HUGE hands late (AK, QQ back to back, and 99-->two of which I knocked somebody out with) and used that to gain a sizable chip lead. When we got to HU play I was like, "Great I have a 4-1 chip lead and can own", but unfortunately fatigue set in and I began to make some bonehead plays. Before long I had let this dude back into the match by playing really passive heads up and just playing poorly (I literally was like "Crap, I can't believe I let him back in it like THAT"). I had blown my oppourtunity to seal the match and now I felt like my momentum was gone and if I kept playing the way I was playing I would surely lose (not to sound negative or anything, it's just I couldn't see myself winning on fatigue).
We were about even in chips when we started talking deal, but I was so tired that I was like "YAAA Go for it! Kick his ass!" and "Dude, you won't be able to own in the state of mind you are in, take a deal" both at the same time. During this time of confusion I took a couple blinds from my opponent to raise my lead to 1.5M to 1M by the time support came. I did the math according to the chip count and with 60%ish of chips I should get about 7.1-7.2K from the deal, but I figured since I robbed my opponent of chips by being a confusing a**hole ("Lets make a deal...no wait lets play f*ck it...ok fine deal") I figured 300$ ain't that much to bitch about. I actually got an email from PS afterwards about my use of profanity during the deal period which I thought was jokes.
I am content with 6.9K in my BR now and its still a huge win. By winning the all in fest I got 977 TLB points and my name is on the weekly leaderboard list for now which is sick.
I already thanked Leafsfan1122 and ninetensuited for railing me after we all finished top 70 in the tourney.
Don't worry guys, soon we will all get to a FT together and come 1,2,3 (like the SM for sure).

played the 14K last night on FTP - after the break, I sit with a little under average chip feeling happy.
I get AKo MP - I raise. LP SS reraise. I call.
Flop is AdJd8c - I prey his PP are not J's when I c/c his push. Its Q's, cool.
Well, not too cool on the river when he hits.
Other wise played pretty ok - maybe a little too tight, but didn't really get many hands.
Damn, I want to play one of those at least once a week.
Good job you two.
