I shake a dead fish hand, say "Good game", and promptly go record the result. Junior pitches a fit and runs to momma. Three people offer to buy me beer. I forget about this game quickly, and avoid talking about my opponent although several other players are obviously pleased. I, however, have other things to consider. To my pleasant surprise, I now calculate that if I can win round 5, and another player wins her game, she and I will tie for 2nd place, and we will split $300. We chat for a bit, wish each other luck, and prepare for the last round. She studies an opening book. I smoke cigarettes:)
