$5 SNG (9 person)

[mikeneron]

-Hands 2 & 3: Did I play these poorly? Even though I won them, I feel like I probably could have won more from them, but I could have also lost a lot from them as well.
-Hand 10: I should have just folded this one, but this guy had been raising more than a few times, so I decided to call.
-Hand 11: Nothing more I can do here, this is an instapush in my books.
-Anything else that stands out that needs attention?

-Hands 2 & 3: Did I play these poorly?

Yes. Stop letting other people decide how much money goes into the pot.

Hand 2: Nothing wrong with calling him down until the river but I'd definitely go all-in when he makes that stupid little bet.

Hand 3: Turn check is OK, river check isn't OK. "But I could have also lost a lot" no you couldn't have because no one at this level is tricky enough to check a flush twice. You have the best hand so bet. All-in seems good to me.

In general if you have a good hand and someone makes two weak bets (or checks) in a row then you can assume you have them beat.
