Seems like i have forgot alot everything about SNG's , but im probaly off position here. And i need to fix my "early game". Anyways, the thing i was thinking about was what i my move here? Did I do the right thing? Results hidden under the "turn".

Looks absolutely fine to me. At higher buyins I would make it 80 to go preflop but when you're OOP at a $5.50 you want to try to thin the field so 100 is OK.

On the flop, I would bet closer to full pot with 3 opps seeing the flop. Make it 350 to go. Basically, you want to build the pot such that if your flop bet is called, when you shove the turn it isn't an overbet. If you'd bet more on the flop and gotten called then you'd be shoving 1050 into a 1100 pot rather than 1150 into a 900 pot.

As played, since the board is pretty dry (draw free) you could bet 500 and get the rest in on the river. Shoving isn't too bad a play either, but I'd like shoving a lot more if you'd bet more on the flop.

Looks OK to me too. I agree with Taipan. UTG +1 I would raise this to 3-4x BB. If you run into a reraise you have room to consider. I try not to commit myself at the 10/20 blind levels from early position.

I would bet the pot on that flop. I'm not against the push on the turn. I think it was played well. nh

The thing with the 100 bet is that i know that people are morons, so wanna get thin the field like you mentioned. So i know that the raise should be like 3-4x BB.

I agree with you that on the flop i should have bet 350 and then possible puzh or make it 500. Seems like perfect play.

Yeah, true that a re-raise here would kill me, like a raise to 200-300 is a fold.
