9 SNG $2 + .25 End 5th 46 Hands

Not a lot I was able to do this session. Players tended to bet often which kept me out of most hands and I didn't get particularly good cards. The best I had was AKo one hand and I accidently folded to a raise after the flop, though I might have folded anyway as only small cards were in the flop.

By hand 37 we were down to five players and I was short stack with 1500, high stack had 4395, and the other three between 2200 & 2700. Hand 46 developed like I might be able to add to my chip stack.

Hand 46. I'm SB w/7h 4s. Action folds to me and I open raise 2 BB (160) and the BB calls. Flop 4h 8d Ah. I have bottom pair. I make a min bet of 80 into the 320 pot and the BB raises me to 160. He's probably got me beat w/an Ace but I decide to call and look at one more card. Turn 7d. I now have bottom two pair.I bet 240 into the 640 pot and the BB raises me to 800. Hmmm, I'm still thinking they have A's & I can beat that. They could also have a better two pair than mine.  I push that thought aside and go all-in w/my last 1010 chips. BB calls and shows pocket 8's (8h 8c). They hit a set on the flop. I'd not cosidered that possibility. I need a 4 or a 7. River 10c and I'm outta there.

I feel ok with how I played the hand through the BB 160 raise to me after the flop, although it probably would have been better if I'd folded. However after the Turn when he re-raised me from 240 to 800, I needed to stop and fold. There were too many obvious ways my bottom two pair could be beat.
