I stacked off so bad here. I was sitting at about 20th out of 100 players left and in the money. I think I was getting a bit wreckless and was tired at this point.
This hand is a blunder. I could have possibly gotten away preflop when I was 3bet from the SB, but I called in position. I then hit top pair on the flop. SB leads out small and I call. SB then bets bigger on the turn, and this is another opportunity to get away, but I am also sitting with top pair, to a low board in a 3bet pot.
The hand was just a huge blunder but how do I stop this from happening in the future? Is it the big turn bet from half of villain's stack that is the main red flag that lets me know that I need to get away? He is basically pot commiting himself with that bet. I wish I let the hand go at this point.
I essentially jeopardized more than 2/3 of my stack here. Maybe mindset that I need to have is that I am not the one pushing the action and that it is ok to fold the best hand if it isn't the best spot for me.
Villain did have a $50 bounty at the time as well, which he likely used as bait to draw me in.
Does anyone have any input/suggestions/thoughts I can take away from this situation?
Being 22/100 I had a chance to make a decent run, but I just busted in 90th place. I just want to know what I should be looking at/focusing on/thinking about, the next time this situation arises so this doesn't happen. It kind of stings right now, but I'll go to bed soon and move on from it.
