You only think you played this ok because the other guy had ppJ. More often than not, you're still losing this hand based on the betting to AJ as well.

Have you read HoH 1 & 2? If not you should. Harrington's consistent theme in both books is that you should always try to position your decisions where they will be the easiest. Once youre in t635 with KJo you're bound to make poor decisions afterward. Thats why you donked on down to the river. If you folded this hand in the first place you would still be in fine position. Instead you're left with t150 and your dick in your hand.
