Re: How do the experts play this?
It's not about running over or allowing yourself to be run over. I know it's been said time and time again. Tournament poker is about playing position and situations.
In this particular hand, you are in a bad position in a bad situation, and (being ironical for a moment) you made the best out of it. You gave not some, but ALL of your chips to another player probably directly related to your fear of being "run over" by other players. I struggle with this same problem, but rather than using your emotions to control your play, separate yourself from your emotions and look at the cards, your postion, and the situation that you're in. Hope this helps.
Thanks
