AA cracked on hand #2

I might buy that, but I made $60 off them yesterday. So, I think I'm okay.

that rake is killing you first off.

There is at least a little insight to make on this bad beat post. In low level SnGs I raise to 100 level 1. I definitely push the flop... If he calls he is a moron and you will profit in the long run off of these people.

I think that is overdoing it. I play in the $22s and there are plenty of bad players there, but even they will get scared by overbetting. My standard raise is to 75 in level one and 100-125 in level 2 (depending on how bad I think the blinds are).

On the bad beat -- I've had worse done to me, and I think everyone in this forum could probably say the same.

On the play -- I only looked quickly, but basically, if I read it right, Villian pushed all in on a straight DRAW?

I want this guy at my table whenever I sit down to play. Seriously, his success this time will encourage him to play just as intelligently in the future, which means lots of $$ for the good guys.

Mistake 1: Playing $5+$1. If your bankroll can't afford $10+$1, switch to Stars or PokerRoom.

That said, you got semibluffed and lost to a 6 outer. Cards happen, you play good.

I would have pushed the flop. Yeah, you need to push the flop. Don't think it helps too much here, but against a heart draw, pushing is definitely correct.
