being honest with yourself (x-post)

Good thread, "My Poker Binder" worthy. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I seem to do this all the time, and its the reason why I bust out late in tourneys, and its the reason why I busted out of my last tourney. It was mid tourneys, and a player with a huge stack went all-in, I look down and find QQ. I knew he was a tight-aggressive player, and wouldnt go all-in (with such a large stack) unless he had AA,KK, or possibly AK. I of cource instantly called ... he turned over AK ... and I lost. I didnt put him on the correct range of hands, and I didnt take into consideration the stage of the tourney. I just saw QQ and thought to myself "I've got Queens -- how can I fold?!?".
