Set of jacks vs 4 to the flush, 3rd hand in SNG.

[PokerMatt2011]

Didn't like this hand, obviously. Only the 3rd hand in the SNG, I think. The opponent was betting into everything, and after the flop I was happy to let him. Didn't realize what a douchebag he was until he hard-bet 4 to the flush like he had my set of jacks. Oh well. Moving on.

I don't mean to sound like a bitch or add insult to injury, but why did you call a pf all in with AQo when you're so easily dominated and any decent range in ICM is going to tell you that it's better to fold?
With an M of almost 12 in the bb you had plenty of time to wait for a better spot to get it in.

What can I say? I was definitely tilting. There you go. At that moment I was, indeed very weak. I'm also still doing alot of learning about pot odds, range, and Ev. I must have spent 5 hours reading today after that beat. Message: Received, so to speak.

On top of that, after all the reading and the videos I have watched on this site, I realize how badly I do suck. So, I approach the forums humbly, with a desire to learn more of the technical aspects of the game as I mentioned above. Anytime I take a bad beat, or an unexpected loss from a player with a shitty hand, I always say "nh" or "gg, gl" in the event it knocks me out. I simply vent here.

^^ Some may disagree with me but I really believe that more than half of the battle is first admitting that we aren't a POKER GOD and really do suck. That first step will hopefully point us in the right direction to start improving. GL
