Went on tilt for the first time in quite a while this morning. I'm not upset with myself for getting on tilt but I'm furious with myself for not recognizing it sooner. Figured I'd better tear myself away from the tables and find a hand to post...

This is a pretty standard big blind goes good situation, but this is one of those spots where I've been wondering if I should be looking to check raise to catch another bet or two.

This is how I would play it. If this is you on tilt, I'd hate to see you playing straightforward.

Where exactly where you planning to check-raise here? You've got no indication where the bet would come from, and if it comes from the right and you check-raise then you've probably cost yourself money. If you were going to check-raise you need to be very sure that the bet would come from your left. I think you played it fine as it is.
