I absolutely agree with you. The AQ hand was definitely one of the ones I had in mind when I mentioned I should have been more aggressive in spots. I was freerolling after all and really should have made that move. Maybe another factor was that when I played this event in a previous year, I was knocked out when I preflop jammed AQ of spades. Logically I know that should definitely not have been a factor. Gotta toughen up but I guess this time around I decided in general to err on the side of less gambool to ensure I locked in a win.
For the KQ hand, I freely admit that I had just seen so many ridiculous beats that I just wanted the hand to be over. Again, that was not a logical decision, and you are correct in pointing out that I should NOT have been playing scared of the flush completing or another Ace hitting in that spot. I definitely should have tried to extract at least 1 more street of value.
