First Tourney and How I Screwed It Up

I played my first $5.50 sit 'n go tournament today. Yesterday I went over the areas I highlighted in the book Sit 'n Go Strategy and I specifically remember one part I had highlighted. From page 19 under premium hands, it's talking about having pocket kings or queens. "If you do get callers to a raise or reraise, and an ace or king comes to your queens or an ace to your kings, tend to give up against multiple opponents or a lot of action."

If only I had remembered this during the tournament.

I even remember thinking in the back of my head as I made the flop reraise call, does he have Aces or Ace-King. Afterwards I wrote on the bottom of my starting hands sheet, "If you have KK and an Ace comes, fucking fold to a reraise!!!" Live and learn, I guess.
