Ever had a run like this?

My best run, and i say its the best because of the circumstances, was as follows.

Little over a year ago, during the Sunday 215 buy in on party, we were down to around 80 players. Back then, 1st prize was only (i say only compared to what it is now) 30 k i think, and only 600 ish people were in the tourney. I had around 5k in chips, and average was about 7500. I picked up AA two off the button, guy in early position with a monster stack raised, i moved in, he called, and i doubled up. Now at around 10k.

Two hands later, on the button, i had 88...one guy made the minimum raise, it was called by another player ahead of me, i called for odds and position even though i smelled aces, and the big blind folded. Flop came 8 5 something, rainboow. BB checked, original bettor moved in for like 5 k, next folded, i smooth called, BB check raised all in....i was lovin this... i called of course....BB had 55, original had AA like i thought, my set holds up. At this point i had like 25 k or so, and average was only 7500.

Two hands later( sense a pattern?) I pick up KK in the BB. one guy raises about half his stack, cant remember the amount, I put him in, he calls with QQ, and i add another 8k or so to my stack.

I rode that fortuante run to the final table, where i finished 7th for a nice little payday. Of course, I was horribly pissed that I didnt win, and it took me a while to be happy with 7th, but I am now....kind of

I know how you feel, I went out in 8th place in a $50 + 5000 added tourney on UB. Afterwards I was pissed off for days about being so close to a big payday and screwing it up. All-in with A10 vs AK, stupid, dtupid ,stupid me. One lapse in judgement really screwed me there.
