So, playing a $5 SNG on PokerStars last night, my 1st stupid mistake...

2nd hand, me in CO with Q9s folded to me, I put in a 3X steal raise. Button calls, blinds fold. Flop Q T 9, 1 of my suit. I check, he bets 60, I raise to 200, he calls. Turn is another of my suit, a low card. I check, he bets 150 I push. He shows QT, I'm down to 10 chips.

Down to 4 left, I'm 3rd in chips, about 2800, small stack on my right) has about 1350, villain and next player have me covered.

I have 55 on button, blinds are 100/200, short stack folds, I raise to 600, SB raises to 1200, BB folds, I push. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I get so caught up in trying to win the hand I'm playing I forget that there's a tournament to be won. And I was so close... would have been the comeback of the year, but (see title)

Regards
