Okay I accidentaly entered a NL O8b 45 man SNG....I played the game ONCE prior to this in a ML ring. So needless to say I know next to nothing about the game, not that I wouldn't like to learn the game at some point.

So I was wondering what you guys who know how to play the game think of this hand, did I at least play it okay? Should I have played it at all, is it a good starting hand, etc.

Finished 10th overall

Final Pot:

Results in white below:
Hero has 5d Tc 2d Ah (Low: 6, 4, 3, 2, A | High: straight, six high).
CO has As 4s Td 6c (Low: 8, 6, 4, 3, A | High: two pair, sixes and fours).
Outcome: Hero wins .

A2 is always playable for one bet, so no problem playing the hand.

You flopped the nut low (I wonder what that would be like, seems like then I have A2 the flop always has at least an A or a 2 in it) - you have to bet that. Too bad more people didn't stay in. The turn was perfect for you, too bad you didn't have more chips .

Now, seeing as how I suck at Ob8, sear everything I've said from your memory and wait for someone who knows WTF they're talking about to respond.

Sorry, brain lock. Meant river.
