9 SNG $5 + .50 End 8th 23 Hands

Time to stop playing for the day. I didn't play terrible but cards didn't go my way. Hand 7 I had pocket 10's (10h 10c), HJ position. UTG open raises 3 BB (90). Action folds to me and I call, rest fold. Flop 5d 4h 3h. Except for a straight possibility not a bad flop for me. UTG bets 150 into the 225 pot and I call. Turn Jh. Not a good card for me. J's beat me and it shows a possible heart flush. UTG checks this time and I bet 240 into the 525 pot. They call. River 8s. No damage there. UTG checks & I check. Do they beat me with a straight? With a flush? No of course not. They show pocket 3's, having hit a set on the flop. :-/ I'm cut to 975 chips.

To add salt to the wound, hand 23 I have Ad Qs in CO position w/680 chips. HJ open raises 235 chips and I decide to raise all-in, rest fold, HJ calls showing pocket 10's (10c 10d). I have two over cards. Can I beat his 10's? Five cards to do it. The board plays out 4h 9s 6c 2s 6d. Of course I can't, his pocket 10's are good. I'm gone!
