9 SNG $5 + .50 End 6th 51 hands

Another miserable ending to a SNG. 6 of us left, Blinds 50/100, I'm SB w/short stack with Qh 10s. CO bets 2BB's (200) and I decide to call. Flop is 5s 10d 10c. I decide to check and CO check's. Turn Jc. I bet 100 into 500 pot, CO calls. River is 8d. I decide to go all-in with my last 770, CO calls and has 7h 9s. Hits a gutshot straight on the river, I'm over and out!!!

Looks like I should have played that hand more aggressive at the flop, but I thought if I slow played I'd be able to get all my chips in and if lucky double up. Less certain if I'd been able to get him off his hand on the turn as he has had some lucky draws a few times in earlier hands He was willing to bet and raise w/4c 8c for a flush draw on the turn  and river. He hit the river and won.

Hmmm, I still hve the session up and he's HU now. Had a decent chip lead, now they are about even. He just told the other person that he's not a fish, just plays very loose because this is a $5 table. He just came in first. :-/

Had pocket 5's twice early and pocket 8's. Limped in and either had to fold due to later raises or not hitting the flop. Mixed results trying to steal, only successful a couple of times.

Hand 34 had pocket K's MP and went all-in with my 740 chips. No callers.

Hand 36 UTG had pocket A's. Bet 2 BB (160)  of my 830 stack and got 2 callers. Flop was 5s Kh 2h and I went all-in with my remaining 670 chips. They both folded. Not sure if I could have got more but didn't want to risk getting sucked out by under betting the flop..

Hand 41 I had Kd Js in HJ position and decided to limp in. SB called & BB checked. Flop 6d 8s Qd. All checked. Turn As. Button decided to bet 160 into the 240 pot. I thought about it for awhile and decided I'd take a change to see if I could draw a 10 on the river. River 8h. . Button & I checked. Button had Ac Jh & won.

Hand 42 I had Ac 7c and hand 43 I had Ac 8c. Decided to llimp on both to see if a nut flush might show up. Nothing on the flop in 42 and BB raised all-in pre-flop on 43.

Had some small wins between there and hand 51.
