It was the 1st round, my opponent was really weak. I knew his playing style quite well because I had played many times with him shorthanded and full table. My stack was twice the size of his and I was in position to wipe him out. He was in on a hand that I had him crushed on. He would have called all-in had I pushed, but we were only a few hands in and I wanted to play a bit.

The next 3 hands in a row I lost, he had better cards. My cockiness got the better of me.

Never underestimate what can happen when there are uncontrollable variables. Trump has already beat all of the odds time and time again. Brushing him off as another pesky Sanders is going to land Clinton in a heap of trouble.

Of course you will have pretty wild variance in heads up SNG type of play .. especially if you had those wonderful double the blinds every two minutes type of rules a lot of not in a casino tournaments tend to have
You are right though- anyone who is not aggressive or who looks at their cards in heads up play needs to go back to grade school and let the grown folks handle things

Be aggressive, make money, because fuck everything
Always remember in life:
Nothing matters to anyone
and
Fuck everything

Hahahahaha
I blame you for losing since you said "call all in" but you still make a very interesting point, there
