Default Re: So how did you bust out?

Key hand: I have ~25K in the 250/500/50 level. Folded to me, I raise to $1700 in CO w/ QQ. BB only caller. Flop AQ8. He checks, I bet 3K, he checkraises to I don't remember how much, I push, he calls with no-[censored]-way AA. I cover him by 2000 chips.

Bust hand: 300/600/75 level, I push A2o in the CO with 10K (M=6). SB calls with AK and holds.

Don't like the A2o push for 17xBB even with the ante.

Obviously I've thought about it a great deal and I don't like busting that way. I did do some math in the hotel room afterward and with calling ranges of AK-AT, 66+, which was definitely too loose for at least two of the three behind me, it's +EV ~400-500 chips. I still question it though. At the table, I nearly folded, and walking out I felt like a [censored].

I'd been push-or-fold for about an hour and a half since the QQQ hand (had just recently won a flip to get my head above water); I think that may have affected my psychology.
