18 SNG $8 + .80 Tier One End 18th 25 hands

I think the subject line tells it all. I'd been playing tight, but on hand 20 I made my old/often mistake of not giving the all-in call credit for having the winning hand based on the board and one more time I paid the price.

Hand 16. I had pocket 7's in MP1 position and limped in w/50 chips. HJ raises to 150 and I fold later.

Hand 20. I have As 9s as the SB. UTG limps in w/50, I call, & BB checks. Flop 5d 9h 5h. I pair my 9 with an Ace kicker and bet 100, BB calls and UTG folds. Turn 10c. I bet 150 into the 350 pot. Might have been better if I checked, but I wanted to get a guage if I was still in the game.  BB raises all-in w/1075 chips, basically telling me my paired 9's are unlikely to take this pot. Do I listen? NO. I call. He shows 5c 3d; trip 5's. River 4c. I'm done in LAST place.

Grrrr. I really need to learn this lesson!!!!
