If you feel that your "best guess" game is better than the solid fundamentals, then studying, for example, range morphication is an exercise in futility since you're always going to revert back to feeling that your instinct is the most important thing.
The next point is that you got 30bb in with AK in a pko against K3, A7, and QJ. That's an insane value, to you. That one hand is probably worth as much as laddering 50 spots in the money. What you should take from that hand is "wow, these things are insanely profitable, I should load up 50 more"
1. Yes, I will indeed be loading up more of these games. However, they tournaments, not like cash games, and once you are out, you are out.
2. I did tilt a bit, if that's what you mean, and felt entitled, and your answer certainly reduces tilt. But at least I stopped playing immediately after.
3. I put the above hand in HoldEQ. I don't recall the exact suits of the hands, so I did it with the combos. I only had 28% equity there.
I think the right play would have been to fold there, unless I wanted to rebuy, and which I didn't. I made a wrong play and I should just have folded, or rebought after, which I didn't do either of.
4. I am not sure if I wanted to ladder up 50 places ITM there, cos it was too early in the tournament, I could take those guys out slowly too.
5. When I am ITM, again I don't think I want to take such gambles eg 4-way. The same reason is why I don't want to go all in, and not because I don't want to study shoving and reshoving ranges. I would rather just take out opponents slower.
