I hate that I was in the last 25 of a 180 SNG/tournament, with a decent stack, I got dealt aces when a HUGE stack in first position made a big raise. I shoved feeling that he didn't make such a big bet to just fold to a reraise, plus he had such a massive stack, I think the average was around 8k (I had 7k) he had 27k, I was pretty sure he didn't get that kinda stack by folding, and I was right, he called with A10 of hearts, which by all accounts is a pretty terrible call, but whatever that's what you want I guess. Anyway wouldn't you know it he makes a flush, and I'm out.
I've built up a fairly decent thick skin to bad beats as I've played more poker, but that was quite frustrating I must admit, since I haven't had much success in 180 man tournaments and I actually felt I was playing quite well, and was in with a good shot of making the final table.
