Apologies for a bad beat thread but I'm steamed. How the hell can I finish 4th 10 out of the last 11! This skid is going to take weeks to build back up at the donk limits. AARRRRRRRRRRRRGG!

My last month:
UTG raise, TAG MP reraise, button repushes w/ MP pot committed (MP would be getting 3.5 to 1 even if UTG folds).
UTG calls w/ QQ, MP calls w/ KK, & button shows 77.
After hitting a set & winning, button explains he was 'trying to put your stacks to the test, see if you guys can fold' (despite MP being pot committed).
Whitehorse,
You were correct to jam AKs, heck it's profitable to jam T5s or T8o here ...
My favorite situation is where it looks like you're playing bad. But you're playing correctly.
Do you know how loose you can call with here???
I get the feeling that you don't understand how loose you can call in this situation.
I call a shove with Q7s if it's 10.6 BB... here it's roughly 10.6 BB so it's not too bad a play.
I call with Q8s if my stack size is 13 BB, Q9s with stacks sizes of 16.2BB.
Suggestion.
Memorize a push or fold table. It will give you a huge edge over people who are just guessing.

Yuck that's a horrid downswing.
Have you made any changes to your game.
I read the new Full tilt poker book and dropped 23 big blinds in one session ... at the CNE no less.
Curse you Howard Lederer.
None that I'm aware of, although I'm sure some % of that is less than optimal tilt induced decision making. Break time for a bit I guess.
