Busted out of the $1 45-man, but the $2 9-man I played turned out pretty well. I was clinging on at the bubble in 4th place, and caught a big double up when my A9o flopped an ace against 77, then another player shoved into my pocket aces. I got heads up, and it didn't last very long. Here's the final hand:

I don't know what possessed me to call there. I just felt something... he wouldn't be shoving if he wanted value. He'd be betting smaller so I could call. He had nothing. I felt it. In the past, I would fold and move on because I didn't want to look stupid calling with a pair of threes, just in case he turns over two pair or something. But now that's I've stopped caring about looking stupid, I'm following my instincts.
And it's paying off!
