6 SNG $5 + .50 End 5th 20 Hands

For the most part I played well, and felt I played the last hand the best I could and was Rivered in the end.

Hand 20, 5 players left, blinds 25/50 I'm CO w/Ad Qh and 1165 chips. UTG limps in, HJ folds and I raise to 4 BB (200). SB & BB fold, UTG calls. Flop 8h 4s Qd. UTG checks and I bet 250 into the 475 pot, UTG calls. I'm wondering what do they have? Turn 3d. Not a bad card for me, but does set up a possible flush draw. UTG checks again. Since I have top pair and top kicker, and they have only checked and called my bets, I feel they don't have me beat at this point. I debate their having a set, but feel they would have bet that. They could be on a flush draw and I decide to bet all-in w/my last 715 hoping they will fold but feeling OK if I'm called. They call. I couldn't get them off their hand. They show 8d 7d. Middle pair from the flop and on a weak diamond flush draw. I'm a big favorite 70/30. River 8s. So much for that. They don't get the flush but do get trip 8's and I'm gone.

I played very tight and only hand I felt I played that I shouldn't have was A2s from the SB. Two players limped in, I call, BB checks. Flop J A T, not my suit, so I now have top pair with a very weak kicker. I decide to  bet 100 into the 200 pot, two callers and a raise to 300 by the BTN. I fold at that point. It only cost me 125 chips, but they were 125 chips I didn't need to lose.
