9 SNG $5 + .50 End 7th 19 hands

I took my 1st small hit in hand 3. I was the SB w/As 10s. I missed the flop 2h 3c Qh but bet 1/2 the pot (60) and was called. Turn Kc. I now have a gutshot straight draw and bet a little under 1/2 the pot (105 into 240) and was called. River 7c. I checked and folded to a pot bet of 450.

Hand 7 I took my next hit. I was MP2 w/10h Jh. The action folded to me and I limped in, action folded to the SB who limped and BB who checked. Flop 6c 10s Jc. No hearts but Ihave the top two pair. SB bets 30. BB calls, and I raise to 105. SB folds and BB calls. Turn 7h. No help to me. BB checks and I bet 165 into the 330 pot, BB calls. River 8d. Not helpful, if BB has a 9 they have a straight. BB makes a small 30 bet and I call to see what they have. They show 9d 8h, having hit the straight on the turn. :-/ I now have 945 chips.

Hand 11 I get some of the chips back. I'm BB w/7s 9s. UTG bets 40, HJ calls, and I check. Flop 7c 5d 3s. UTG bets the pot (140), HJ folds, and I raise to 280 feeling he probably didn't hit flop and I have top pair. UTG folds and I have 1145 chips.

 Hand 13 I add a few more chips. I'm the BT w/9s Jh and the action folds to me. I limp in, SB calls, & BB checks.  Flop Js 5d 5s. I have top pair, but the board has paired the 5's. Action checks to me and I bet 1/2 the pot (75), SB folds & BB calls. Turn 8h. BB checks and  I bet 150 into the 300 pot, BB calls. River 6d. BB checks and I check. BB shows Kc 8s. I win and have 1450 chips.

Hand 14 my downfall. I'm CO w/Ks Jh, action folds to me and I limp in, BT raises to 100, SB folds, BB & I call. Flop 10h As Ac. I have a gutshot straight draw but there are other possible winners already showing. The three of us check. Turn Qc. I now have my straight but there is also another FH possiblity with A Q hand added to the A 10. I decide to bet a little over half the pot to see if I can get rid of anyone (175 into 325 pot), BT raises me to 475, BB folds, and I decide to call in spite of my better judgement!! River Kh. Oh great another FH possibility. :-/  I check & BT bets 400. I'm curious about what they have so I call. They show Ah Kd. I was winning through the turn! I'm down to 475 chips.

I know I should have folded at the BT's raise on the Turn and if I had I'd still be in the game but I was too curious about the cards. So though I didn't play well, I was fully aware of what I was doing and that I'd likely lose the hand.

Hand 19. I'm BB w/6c 7d, UTG limps, SB calls & I check. Flop 8c 4d 9h. I have an open ended straight draw. I bet 1/2 the pot (90), UTG folds, and the SB raises me to 450 putting me all in. Since I have the open ended straight draw I call.  SB shows 9d 10h, pairing their 9. Turn Qd. River Ks. It's over for me.
