Didn't realize I'd signed up for a $1 SNG, thought I'd clicked on the $2. Anyway as you can see it was quick and not in my favor.
Hand 3 I have Qd Jd. I'm UTG and limp in. Flop 3d Js Qs is nice to me and I now have top two pair. I bet 1/2 the 150 pot (75), the BTN & SB calls, BB folds. Turn 8d. I now have a flush draw as well. I bet 195 into the 405 pot, BTN calls & SB folds. River Ah. Not a card I preferred to see, but if the other player only paired their Ace I'm still ok. I bet 330 into the 795 pot and the BTN raises me 1125 when they go all-in. I debate it a bit and decide to call. They could have K 10. Turns out they had pocket Q's and had hit a set on the flop. Until the River they just called my bets so I had no indication how strong they might be. Apparently they weren't worried about me having a straight. That left me with 75 chips and I went out on the next hand.
I could have folded their raise on the River as it was very likely they had something they felt they'd win with and I need to think more about what that might be. My thought about a straight was incorrect, but that should have been enough to have me fold and still be in the session licking my wounds. Of course any set would have beat me and I'm not sure how I'd have been able to make myself aware of that possibility since they merely called my bets until the River.
