PS 9 SNG $3 + .40 End 5th 49 Hands

This session had got off to a good start with my upping my chip count to 2170 when I had Ah Kd. The flop was Ac As Jd. I have trip A's with a K kicker and that felt pretty good. There were three of us in the pot. The player to my left bet the flop and I bet the turn. The 3rd player in this just called. Turn 6c. River 7d. The 3rd player bet all-in w/1270 and I called. He indeed had AJ & I was down to 560 chips. Later I was able to make a bit of a comeback and might have been able to make the money but was a bit impatient and thought I had a good chance of winning post flop on the last hand.

I'm SB w/Kc 4h. Action folds to me and I limp in w/100, BB raises to 200 and I call. Flop 8c Qs Kh. I have top pair w/a weak kicker. BB goes all-in w/5180 chips and after thinking about it a bit, I decide to call. BB shows pocket 8's (8h 8s). He hit a set on the flop. Turn Jc. River 9c and I was outta there. I didn't take enough time to think out why he would have gone all-in after the flop or what kind of hands he might have had that would be my paired K's, such as a set. or for that matter why did he raise me pre-flop (most of the time we just call and see what happens).
