Superbad decision

I never saw the movie "Superbad", but have always loved the title, which makes for a great adjective. Last night, I played 238 hands, and made 485 poker decisions. Most of my decisions were good, but one of them was very bad; so bad, in fact, that it was superbad :-) On the very first hand of the fourth tournament I played, I way overplayed the pair of aces I hit on the flop. When an opponent went all in on the turn, I should have realized he had at least two pair and was miles ahead of me. The only correct play was to fold. Instead, I stubbornly called, and was out in sixth in a New York minute.

Memorable as my superbad decision was, however, it wasn't the most memorable moment of the session. There were actual two moments more memorable, and they both happened during the third tournament I played, and were eerily similar. On hand 29, I was dealt pocket rockets, but lost $680 to a full house of jacks full of tens. On hand 38, I was dealt pocket rockets again, but lost $1,270 to a five high straight, hitting the rail in the process. I lost both hands to the same opponent. Double ouch!
