But man, I have to bitch about the situations I've been in the last few SnG's.
A player UTG raises to 150, and I call with 55. Flop is T-7-4. He cont. bets 200, which smells weak. Pot is 575, and I have only 900 left. So I push. He calls with AT. I cannot put him on that hand when he raises UTG, so when he bets a T high flop, I'm destined to get stacked. I hate that.
Last game. I'm in the BB 4-handed with K9. The SB limps in. I raise to 450. He calls. Flop comes 9 high. He checks, I put him all in, and he calls. He has A9, and didn't raise out of the SB. When the flop comes 9 high, I'm destined to double him up. Shit!!!
Finally. I have QJ in the BB. Chip leader limps UTG. SB completes, and I decide to check because they're both calling stations. Flop comes J high. SB bets 300, and I call. The big stack calls too. Turn is a blank, the SB checks. How can I not push? Big stack calls with KJ. He didn't raise pre-flop or on the flop, so once again there's no way I do anything except get stacked.
And then there's the slowroll. A3. Flop is A  6  4 . Turn is a 3 . I put in all my chips about the size of the pot. Some piece of crap waits 20 seconds to call me with the K-high flush. There should be a special rung of hell reserved for people who slow roll.
I just f*cking hate being handcuffed.

Again I got goaded into failure.
Chip leader to bust in 3 short hands.
Hand One: AJ on the button. 1 limper for 100. I raise to 350. He calls. Flop is J-4-3. He checks, I bet 550. He pushes all-in for 700 more, and I have to call. He shows 44.
Hand Two: AJ again in the CO. I raise to 300, and a short stack goes all-in for 420 more. I call. He shows KK. No help for me.
Hand Three: AQ. I'm now down to about 800, so I just shove it all in. Slightly larger stack calls with TT. I flop an Ace, but he gets three diamonds toward his flush. Turn is a T and I'm drawing dead. See ya later!!
Goddam situations like that suck.
Earlier in the tournament I almost got up to 5k in chips during a 3-way all-in with my AK against AT and QJ. Board came 56789 and the AT scoops.

The reason I hate this is that he knows he has to be 50-50 at BEST, while I have to be 50-50 at WORST. f*ck people and their pocket pair addiction.

If you can't see the difference between the two situations, you're blind.
