    Default Lucky flop/turn gone bad. Did I err?

    Hey all,

    7 players left in a PP SNG, with blinds at 50/100. I was at SB with J3o (ugly, I know) and a reasonable, but smallish stack. The table folded to me, so I took a stab at stealing the blinds with a 2xBB raise, hoping to help my stack before the table gets down to 4 or 5. I think this was my first mistake... not a big enough raise, but anyways. BB calls. Flop comes up 683 rainbow. Assuming/hoping BB got nothing with this garbage, I raised 150. Another call. Rats. Perhaps he has TPTK? Turn comes up 3, and I'm dancing in the streets. I bet 300 hoping for some action, and not just a fold. Instead I see a reraise. Uh-oh. Feeling I was pot commited I called (going all in), and sure enough I ran into a full house with BB holding 66. Did I blow this? Bad luck? A bit of both? Here is the hand history from PP.

    Well first of all, I don't think you raised enough to steal. However, in this specific case you never would have stolen this pot (unless the guy was really tight or scared) and I think this was a losing hand from the beginning (which you could not have helped). As to your play, I would suggest trying to make steals from position. The problem with an SB steal attempt is if it goes bad and he calls or reraises you, he will have position on you for the rest of the hand as well. I think in this case if you had position you didn't have to worry about throwing a bet on the flop without any knowledge whatsoever and I think you could have played the hand a little more effectively. However, When that second three came on the board you were screwed without even knowing it and you just ran into a monster.
