I was short in the SB when a super short guy shipped from the CO, I had TT and reshoved...BB woke up with JJ.  I would have beat the short guy to essentially triple :(

Best Movies?

Hey, I know this is a really broad question but I am trying to put together a must-see list of movies...I always hear about or see movies and say to myself how bad I would like to see that movie and then forget later so I want a list! And I am bored...
 
Give me some ideas...

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (104th out of 1755 Players)

I had a really big stack early in this tourney and got brutally unlucky to lose it.  But after I hit the money I got very lucky to get back to a workable stack so that evened out kind of.

$10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (177th out of 1591 Players)

Well I decided to take a small shot.  I am actually rolled to play these but it still feels like a shot because I have to struggle to make sure I am playing well and not scared.  Shouldnt be a big deal but seeing the account drop $55 after an 0-5 day is tougher than watchin it drop $11 after an 0-5 day.  I really need to be able to just think in terms of buy ins and forget about it but I'm a bankroll wimp.
 
Anyways, played the tourney and nothing too special happened.  A lot of simple standard situations.  Basically just got enough good hands/situations to keep a manageable stack until we hit the money and then I lost a coin flip for a 35bb stack shortly after the bubble.  I am confident I can play in these tournaments, but in this particular case the hands kind of played themselves this time around.  In the same way that I shrug off a tourney where i don't cash as being standard, this tournament was much the same.
