9 SNG $2 + .25 End 2nd 91 Hands

One bad choice in Heads Up was my primary downfall. Hand 87 I have Qd 9c, am BB, w/6865 chips. SB open raises to 480 and I call. Flop 6d 2h Qh. I pair my Q. I bet 560 into the 960 pot and SB raises me to 1120. I re-raise to 1680 and they go all-in w/5995 chips. I decide to call. I tend to think they have a Q with a better kicker than mine, but they show pocket K's. Opps!! Turn Kh. River 2s. I'm left w/550 chips.

Based on how he has been playing, if not before, but certainly after, he went all-in, that was my clue to fold. He generally didn't stick around unless he had good cards. I became a bit too impatient there and full of wishful thinking!! That kind of behavior doesn't get me a 1st!!!
