I think it's time for me to quit the 3.25 challenge

I'm really getting sick of these. The turbo aspect is really getting to me, and so is major tilt from hands like these.

I might suggest on hands like QQ with a low but coordinated flop, that you test the waters a bit before shoving it all in. As always, you may be up against a flopped set. If you instead, bet out a pot sized bet instead of shoving, you might get a little more information on how strong their hand is and may save you from going busto. Just shoving here post flop won't usually get you any more chips as most will fold if they miss but it CAN get you busted out if they happen to hit. Hard call either way. I know I'd have to bet out on that flop, but perhaps no more than a pot sized bet. I don't like busting out on just a high pair.

Chipper - my shove was a psb I think it was even a 100 short of a full psb.
