I'm 99.9% sure I messed that hand of from the get go. I should of raised again preflop, but failed to do so. My next screw up was making a play when I should of happily checked and folded. There were too many different hands he could of had that made my play a -EV move. This one hand cost me a better finish in the tournament.
Lessons to be learned for others. Play EVERY hand like it matters. Watch the over aggressiveness when getting close to the monies. Instead of finishing in the top 150, I ended up in 254th. That is about $20 difference right there. I might of been able to make more chips along the way and finish higher even still.
