Want to get thoughts on playing this hand. I admit that I may have been on tilt, as I had lost several showdowns with dominating hands.

Skims was very lose, his stack was all over the map, as he played just about every hand. I honestly didn't think he'd call my all-in. I had no other reads.

Comments, however harsh, appreciated.

This seems contradictory. He showed a great deal of strength and just committed ~25% of his stack. I would expect him to call an all-in re-raise.

Having said that, logical conclusion is TPTK. To me, it really seems like he is protecting a hand here with this raise. But, you have a strong draw and the percentages make it somewhat of a coin-flip I believe, so given your stack, this seems like a good time to try a double or triple up. Don't know about BB, he might have a draw as well, or maybe TP too? Hopefully nothing killer.

Overall, not a terrible place to get your chips in IMO.

Personally, I don't like putting the chips all in a draw. Even one with 14 outs. While you do have 58% of hitting a hand that beats top pair, what if beating top pair is not good enough. ie 6 of your outs lose to a 2 pair.
