A win and a blow-up

I am really getting into my groove with my new strategy. I also experienced a lot of bad play. Players were just giving me their chips. I guess my tight-aggressive tendencies draw people to try to either bluff me or think I'm bluffing.

I also played in the $20 180-seat SNG at PokerStars and was in the top 10 for most of the game. But then when we were down to 11 players and I was in 6th place I had to take a couple of important phone calls and lost my focus. I should have just sat out until I was done but instead I pushed post flop from the SB with bottom pair and got called by a bigger stack in the BB with top pair. My A6 had very few outs against his A10 and I was out. Missed opportunity for sure because I could have made the final table and a lot more money:
