Sometimes tilt pays off.....

- Ok, I feel like an idiot for tilting this hard but here's the story..... I played in a 3 dollar buy in tourney on Ultimate Bet with about 100 people, pays top 10. I was sittin' pretty with about the chip average with 12 people left. I get dealt Queens in the small blind. I hit my Queen on the flop and push all in and get called by an up and down straight draw, which hits on the river. Naturally I am very disappointed to have been almost assured hitting the money and not.
  Here's where the tilt kicks in...... I deposited 25 bucks to my account before going on vacation and up until this point I had won a few bucks playing low limit SnG's. I tell myself " F*** it, I'm going all or nothing, and sign up for a sit and go for thirty bucks, I immediately regret this decision. I never played one above 5 dollars, because I can't afford much more than that, but I always felt I had the skill to do so. Well, After an hour and a half and the best play I have had in the past month, I came in second winning 60 bucks....... I feel on top of the world for being able to play the same game even with a lot of money (to me) online, but at the same time feel like an idiot for tilting so hard.
