9 SNG $3 + .30 End 8th 19 hands Step 1

This SNG pays 5, 1-2 Step 2 ticket, 3-5 Step 1 ticket.

On hand 19 I couldn't give up pocket A's. I was the SB w/pocket Ace's. Action folded to me and I bet 2 BB (100) and BB called. Flop Js 2c 6d. I bet 100 into the 200 pot and BB raises me to 225. Darn, could he have pocket J's? hit a set? I re-raise to 525 and BB calls. Turn 6h. Darn, not a card I wanted to see, but I decide to bet all-in w/my last 745 in chips and BB calls. BB shows 6s 7s. What I was afraid of .......he had a six.

From the way he called my 525 raise on the flop I doubt I could have got him off his hand if I had gone all in. If I had bet bigger pre-flop he's probably have folded. Looks like the only choice I had after that 2nd six showed up was to check and fold if he raised and fight back with my remaining 745 chips. I only needed to make 5th to be in the money.
