... because for some reason, this kind of shit keeps happening to me. I'm something like minus-30% ROI since mid-November, and these kinds of things account for probably half of that.

And gang, these aren't $5 SnGs I'm playing. This particular one was a $50.

Calling that is insane. Granted, he's not that far behind JJ, but I cannot imagine what went through his head. That looked like a good hand to him?

Look at what the real killer is. The BB is 200 and there are 6 left. It wasn't long ago this wouldn't have happened at all. Yikes. It's now just a pushfest and maybe this is the best hand the guy has seen, not that it's very good, but I been there.

You made no mistake. That's about all you can ask of yourself. (And man, have I had to use that one a lot in the past month.)
