after apologizing to my beloved swivel chair following my most recent 11 buy-in drop, i settled in to playing a series of $1.20 45-player SNGs on Stars to focus on some basics and my longer range game. psychologically, i've been able to put all the bad beats and misfortunes by the wayside mostly because i've been focusing alot of energy on my 9-2-5, not playing much poker, and posting on 2+2. although i've only played in three 45-players recently, i've placed in the top 5 in all three. this is a hand from one that i don't like, but then i think, how much of a choice did i have?
3-handed, blinds 600/1200, ante 75.
both of the bigger stacks have played a pretty good game but i've had more experience playing against big stack#1 through the tournament. most of what i've seen from big stack#2 has been at the final 9 table but he's done his thing well enough. i felt this was a good blind stealing oppurtunity because #1 saw me show down winning hands throughout the tourney and gave me respect on several raising hands. my problem was #2 with the monstrous stack who had'nt seen me play as much.
big stack#1: 16882 after posting 1200 BB and 75 ante [?]

big stack#2: 43403 after posting 600 SB and 75 ante [?]
Hero pushes 5790 all-in.
