Winning with Good and Bad Cards

It's always great to get a rush of cards and win a lot of hands. But it's more challenge to win a STT without good cards. Here are all the hands that I was dealt in a STT where my hands were not very good. But I was able to push my aces and when it was three-handed, the other players played way too tight. I was third in chips but went on to win it.

In contrast to the list of hands below, in another tournament that I won pretty easily, I was dealt AK, QQ (twice), JJ, TT (three times), 99 (twice), 44, and 22. Unfortunately, most of the time when I received those premium hands, the players folded around to my BB.

For this tournament where my cards were running bad, I was dealt AK (three times), AQs (twice), and JJ (twice). Only two pocket pairs! It felt great to win despite
getting bad cards.
