Grats man, I know that feeling all too well - you're playing with a large portion (all of ?? lol) your roll on a table way out of your stakes, get dealt a monster and have no choice but to get it all in, all you can do is hope like hell your hand holds and you double up, then get the F off the table before you bust it all.
Haha, glad to hear it worked out well for you, well - except losing the hunge, but you cashed $175 so thats pretty good too !

You did well in withdrawing crow58, this way you will always have good memories of the biggest pot you ever played til now. If you havent put the hand in the money, you would take the very big risk of watching it going all away in the tables. It might happen in the future that you deposit this same amount you won now and you loose, but it’s not the same thing. Perhaps this that happened to you means sometinhg else: you could be better at ring than at SnG’s...

Good thing your kings held up. You managed to double up and cash out (you managed to control yourself and thats good. But try next time not to put all your money in a game. Unless you decide its the last time you will play poker and dont care

Well i had less luck
cash table 1-2 euro I had pocket aces and raised 4 times BB and the big stack on the table raised till 10 euro. I called.
after the flop (2 8 J) off suited the big stack raised 5 euro and i went all-in (total pot finally 51 euro)
he showed 2-3 unsuited and then the turn showed a Q and the river a stupid 3.
Unbelievable is the fact that someone calls a raise of 4 blinds with a 2-3 unsuited.

But still trying to keep up the game
I could belive it if he was a reg on NL200 and maybe I don't know anything about your roll or you, but from what I see I don't think that you have the bankroll to play NL200€ (dunno about skills, but probably neither do you have skills for NL200). If he was a reg I'm not suprised with the pre flop, but post flop he played indeed bad, but also you called pf with aces and I belive in the rule "slowplay - you pay" He could have JJ there, perhaps 88 - it depends on the opponent, but with your call pf you could easily be behind
@crow58 - well, you've had a lot lof luck, playing on NL400 with 33bb ;| Do you have at least 1BI for NL400? lol. That's why poker is still profitable
