I tell you what, if there was a most improved award, this man would win it. He has massively tightened the range of hands, and no longer goes on tilt when he loses a hand.
Ill give you an example.
Putty holding Kx Tx on the button calls. There are 3 players including Fred Fuller.
Flop comes Ad Jd Qx.
Fred leads out for 200, to which putty raises to 1200. (great play i think)
Fred calls.
Turn comes Xx, Fred checks and Putty bets 1000.
Fred calls.
River comes 5d. Fred betts 500 and Putty calls.
Fred shows 8d 6d.
See if any hand was going to put a player on tilt, then this one might have been it. Instead, Putty says 'oh well, nice hand' and gets back to business. He ended up final tabling.
A year ago there would have been chips out the window me thinks.
And yes i didn't make it. I could spout some crap about 3 or 4 bad beats throughout the season, but i didn't really play well enough, and the people in the top 5 certainly deserve to be there. But ill be back bigger and better than ever.
But didn't Putty win with an Ace high straight or am I missing something????????
and 40 to frown 
Where are my reading glasses???
