Default (LC) Stars 2nd Chance: Tilting in style

If you are going to go on tilt, go all the way. Here is how I went from a big stack to busto in the Stars $215 2nd chance in a few hands. I played a good TAG game early, and got a big stack. After my aces were cracked (see below), I was in no mood to rebuild my stack.

I'm glad I went on tilt, as it was more fun to blow off steam than get back into the donkament. (BTW, the reason I limped AA UTG was because there were a couple of super LAGGY players raising every limp with almost ATC.)

The following hands occurred consecutively:
