Good result, bad play

I'm on a hot streak at double or nothings but a good part has been from running well. Apart from the brutal suckout I managed with KJ, some other points I considered afterwards:

- Jamming with Ax might be fairly standard when I get that short in tournaments, but in DON's a 3 or 4 BB raise would achieve the same result. If I get called, I'm likely in really bad shape.
- In the last hand, I got lucky and my opponent got coolered. The roles could have very likely been reversed and the hand would play the same.
- The KQ hand was the only hand I was happy with. The PF raiser had been robbing my blinds and the shove was purely read dependent.

I've been playing these things since I saw your post on them. I find I play extremely passively. Even when you are low on chips, others will bust out ahead of you when all they have to do is fold their way to the money. Weird.

Yep, they are pretty soft. I sharkscoped Bastin and looks like he's cleaning up at these too. I don't think I'm playing anywhere near optimally but lost only one so far.
