Only one blind level…

…did I survive during my 11th tournament, a 90 player sng with a $2+.2 buy-in. First I lost a big pot against what I thought was a steamer, and then I got eliminated because I think I was steaming.

So what happened exactly? Well, in the very first hand of the tournament, the player on my left had to face a harsh bad beat. Then the second hand is played:

The same guy immediately reraises the next hand and I know he will push on almost every flop. So I kinda already decide to call when I hit my 5 of course, but also on this kind of flop, with a paired board. A steamer would never push here if he has hit a set of Aces. But he actually had another good hand… Some hands later I get AK:

Kinda frustrated by my earlier beat and the retarded reraise on the button I immediately shove all-in. It happens to be a coinflip situation but I don’t hit my ace or king, finishing in 82nd place. Better next time.
