GT as always you never cease to amaze me with your hand analysis.

With no preflop raise from anyone it was hard to put anyone on AK or AQ, with his all in bet I thought he may have hit a set, and since I was the chip leader I was able to afford the loss if it happened since I had more than 3x what everyone else had.

Im naturally a very agressive player, but with a flop like that (Open ended straight draw, flush draw and straight flush draw) I felt I had to squeez the table. When the cards were turned over I was kinda surprised to see him holding AQs and not raised anything preflop. But it was the right play and although the odds were not that great to hit the straight flush I did and I was ecstatic as hell as well!

I ended up placing 1st in that SnG and I sat out quite a bit of hands once I was at 6000 chips since there was no need to play anything but A's or K's since i had half the chips in play. Funny thing is that the hand I won the SnG with was 38 suited and I flopped a FH against pocket A's.............
