Default Dr. Jeckle/ Mr. Donkey

Im not sure if this is the place for it, but here it goes. I am not fishing for a "ITS OK" pat on the back, as much as answers/help.
Does anyone else do this? or should I seek immediate medical attention.


Here is my problem or my behavior or symptom or whatever IT is.
First 550 Super at nearby casino for seat to ME. 44 ppl.
4 seats and some cash to 5th.
6000 starting chips, 30 minute levels and standard blind structure for WPT sats.
I played what i believe is some of my best poker ever for 4 hours.
DR. Jeckle:

IT started out simple enough. Kept pots small, avoided big confrontations early. Took a few pots from some nits with nada, but mostly played conservatively for the fisrt hour.
Made a strong laydown at the beginning of Level III, that left me a bit short. After open/raising 3x with 67h, I hit the flush on the turn only to lay it down an AI river bet. Mucked my hand up. Nice hand Sir. He shows higher Flush. Im feelin it,but that left me with 4700 with the blinds at 100/200. Could not improve my stack by the next level,so
I decided to apply "the System" from SKlanskys TPAP ( selective push/fold system using a simple formula). I am siting on 3900 and blinds are 150/300, I though WTF.
And it worked beautifully. I followed it closely and after two more levels I had 14BB and we were down to 18 ppl.
I switched gears, tighten up, avoided the bigstacks and kept pressure on the middle. Things were looking very good.

MR. Donkey:
12 ppl remaining. Last Hand before the break. Blinds 600/1200.
800/1600 when it resumes
7 ppls.

UTG 22000 raises to 4000 (AsJs)
Which disspite being folded multiple times OOP that day, suddenly looked like a Monster hand.

UTG+1 11500 reraises allin.(UTG+1 Is a bit of a nit.Has made a comeback in last 2 rounds from 500 in chips. Has played and showndown 3 or 4 hand. I remember 77 and ak. Won all and here he is.)

folds to BB.

BB 18000t tanks for 90 sec. Calls.( Chip leader much of the time prior to hand. LAG play. Not completely suprised by his call)

UTG Calls!
WTF? what can i beat that UTG+1 raises me with?
How do I play and read table so well and then spew all of it in one hand? Then with 4000 or so left, BB raises me allin on 684r board and I CALL!
Thoughts?
