How to lose a winning hand
Playing a 10+1 SNG at PS the other day, and I was getting killed. I could not catch a good hand, and no matter what I had, the flop hated me.
Finally, down to 6 players (started with 18) I get a hand dealt on the button.
Blinds 100/200

I was so greedy. I figured this one hand would put me back in the game, and I tried to slowplay just to squeeze out every chip. From the way they had been playing, I know they would have folded to an all in after the flop.
The sad part for me is that I know this was my fault. I cannot even call it a bad beat.
In a tourny, it is better to win a small pot, then to lose a big one. And this was not even a small pot, It would have doubled me up.
