I choked.
The mechanics don't matter much. But I was close to the cash at a mtt but I made a call for all my chips, for maybe some good reasons, but it was absolutely stupid decision, given my cards and my stack and how close I was to the cash.
Stepping back with perspective, it was a horrible, awful, inexcusable call. And the bottom line is that after 7 hours of good, solid play, in the one moment that mattered, I choked.
I don't know if I'm looking for advice or commiseration or what. But it's just so frustrating for me when I know that good decisions are what separate me from the rest of the idiots, and when it mattered in this moment, I totally choked and made bad decision and let myself down.
