Well done!

You stayed nicely aggressive but not too aggro.

I would have tried to get more chips on the 33 hand. Flop is KT3. Big Stack bets and shortie calls all in. This looks great. Now you push. I think a smaller raise is in order--or even a call. If Big Stack has a pair you got him. Even if he has a gut shot or a pocket pair ( 4 outs or 2 outs) it is worth it trying to eat away more of his stack I think.

Yeah I have no idea what I was thinking on that hand or the hand where I lost most of my chips with 2 pair on a highly coordinated board. I'm a little disappointed with this finish. I had the chip lead, control of the table, and I was by far the best player at the table. All those factors don't come together all that often for me and I think I missed a golden opportunity. Thanks for railing.
