I just finished 18th out of the 180, so squeeked into the money. Had about 4500 and caught A/K offsuit in MP. Short-stack with about 4397 pushes from EP with Q/10 sooted. I call (blinds 300/600) all-in and he makes a full boat, ouch.

Down to 103 chips, I push with A/J suited, get re-raised, then another player pushes, yoikes! I quadruple up to 500+ chips when my hand beats 10/10.

Next hand UTG+1 with 8/8. Large stack on my right pushes for like 12K? I call all-in, but his A/K outdraws and I'm sent packing.

Oh yeah, in the original hand where I had that nice flop, my opponent had A/A and I didn't suck out.

ur about even money to 2 black aces on the flop, so reaise allin. i really dont understand why you called the flop then check the turn. very obvious draw IMO

I think it's because I'm an idiot? *slaps himself*

You're right, push on the flop, my draw is huge.
