$10 Party SNG blinds 50/100. Passed to SB with T4900, who completes. I push from BB with T1000 and T9o. SB calls and shows 76o. I win hand with queen high ten kicker.

SB seemed to have as good read on what I had as I had on what he had. But how can he call? It seems like real calling station / you are not going to steal the pot from me play.

The SB had built his stack with early gambling. On the next hand after that he lost another 1,000 chips doubling up someone else.

I won the section. It was the first time I won all 4 sections I was playing simultaneously.

A 10-person SNG.

Maybe it was a misclick. One day I was playing an sng and perusing 2+2 at the same time. I was cruising along with a nice chip stack when the following happened. I was reading a thread and was down scrolling on the down arrow in the lower right corner of the screen.

Suddenly it's my turn to act on Pokerstars and I accidentally click call after a guy had re-raised all-in, a significant amount. I didn't even realize that i called at first but now my chip stack is crippled because I called with 23o.
