I haven't post anything in a long while. But, then again, I haven't played in about 6 months. I decided to play today and found myself doing rather well. At this point my stack was more then double the average and I had taken down the last 2 hands in a row. Unfortunately I made a couple of big mistakes on this hand and went tilt from here and busted out three hands after this. I'm posting this hand to get some feedback and see what others think my "real" mistake was and what I should do better next time. Anything in the post that has to do with me is in RED and my personal thoughts on my actions are in BLUE. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Full Tilt Poker Game #4903144392: $100 Freeroll (37132855), Table 201 - 30/60 - No Limit Hold'em - 6:17:58 ET - 2008/01/18
Seat 1: Wyldfoxx (7,250)
Seat 2: MJ1707 (3,295)
Seat 3: jsviray8183 (1,905)
Seat 4: Minsell (2,935)
Seat 5: Maria_Angeles (8,375), is sitting out
Seat 6: Franchizee (1,230), is sitting out
Seat 7: joerob23 (6,605)
Seat 8: IToldUSo (3,555), is sitting out
Seat 9: flacks (1,150), is sitting out
flacks posts the small blind of 30
Wyldfoxx posts the big blind of 60
The button is in seat #8
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Wyldfoxx [Kd Tc]
MJ1707 raises to 180
IToldUSo has returned
jsviray8183 has 15 seconds left to act
jsviray8183 folds
Minsell folds
Maria_Angeles folds
Franchizee folds
joerob23 calls 180
jsviray8183 has been disconnected

IToldUSo raises to 300
flacks folds
jsviray8183 has reconnected
Wyldfoxx has 15 seconds left to act
Wyldfoxx raises to 690
(Should I have even played these cards in the first place? If so... why did I raise so much? Should I have called instead? Or maybe only raised it to 500 or doubled to 600?)
MJ1707 calls 510
joerob23 calls 510
IToldUSo has 15 seconds left to act
IToldUSo calls 390
*** FLOP *** [Qs 8c Ah]
Wyldfoxx has 15 seconds left to act
Wyldfoxx bets 1,000
(Was this bet nessecary? Should I have checked? Or bet less? Or bet even more?)
MJ1707 folds
joerob23 folds
(I did get 2 people to fold with this bet... so maybe the 1000 was just right.)
IToldUSo has 15 seconds left to act
IToldUSo raises to 2,865, and is all in
Wyldfoxx calls 1,865
(This, I'm sure, was a mistake! I should have read his bet better. I knew already by watching previous hands that this guy doesn't raise if he doesn't have a good hand. By him going all-in I should have assumed he had the ACE. Even though I had already commited 1690 to the pot I should have protected myself and forfeit my hand.)
(My mistake was fishing for a JACK. One should NEVER realy on shear luck-of-the-draw.)
IToldUSo shows [Jh As]
Wyldfoxx shows [Kd Tc]
*** TURN *** [Qs 8c Ah] [Qh]
*** RIVER *** [Qs 8c Ah Qh] [9c]

LOL. With all due respect to the poster, this hand was a hilarious trainwreck. I always wonder what KT is thinking in a spot like this.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

 I think OP was just kidding. I love how much effort was put towards creating that post too.

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?
