Going going gone....From Third to 63rd

Good afternoon all. It is a quiet Tuesday afternoon at work. Just an update on last night's second job. I got home from work and rested for an hour (I think I am getting sick). Then I played a turbo rebuy for Aruba entry and came in 11th, yuck, top 4 got seat. Then I played cash and earned +$210. I also played the 8 p.m. and the 10 p.m. (30$ rebuy).
In the 8 p.m. I played really well and built my stack to 13,500. I was in third place for awhile. Then I had QQ v. a really bad player, who pushed with AK (that play did not make him bad, he was just really bad and happened to pick up AK) and won, cutting me down to 7000. But I was determined to build my stack. Blinds are 300-600, button min raises. I have J9 sp. I push in for 7000 to go. My opponent, tnsstud, who I thought was a good player, but turned out to be a complete donk, INSTAcalls with A5 hearts. I make a great play to have an idiot call, and proceeded to win the hand. It was 60% of his chips, no joke. He started that hand with just under 13,000. What is wrong with players. At least have the courtesy to take the time and think about folding. How do you call with A5? How is that ever a good call? Even with my hand, I am 40% to win. Players are so bad, it is not even funny. I do not regret the play I made, and if I knew his hand ahead of time, I would make the same play, again and again. In any case, I finished 63rd, which is not great, but not bad considering that there were 350 players in. Top 20%. I always like to look at percentages, because I think it is important to determine how you are playing over the long run.
Other than that, everything else is great. Jon is in AC for two days, hopefully he will profit well.
More later.
Good luck and peace,
Lucky C.
