I didn't know if I should post this here or under River Rats. I decided to post here to make something positive come out of this hand.

MP2 (t1445)
MP3 (t4245)
CO (t1215)
Button (t1430)
SB (lynnie909) (t1995)
Hero (t1460)
UTG (t320)
UTG+1 (t1905)
MP1 (t985)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
2 folds, MP1 calls t50, 2 folds, CO calls t50, Button calls t50, SB completes, Hero raises to t350, MP1 folds, CO calls t300, Button folds, SB calls t300.

Did I put in the right size raise here or should I have raised around 450 to 500?
I wanted to raise just enough to get one caller.

Flop: (t1150) , , (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t500, CO raises to t865, SB calls t865, Hero calls t365.

Here I think I should have just pushed all in instead of betting less than half the pot. The pot was worth winning right here. but I wanted the short stalk to push all in if he had a pair. ( stupid greed ) I don't know why I didnt reraise after the SB called


Turn: (t3745) (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t245 (All-In), SB calls t245.

River: (t4235) (3 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t4235

Results in white below:
SB has 7h Kh (flush, king high).
Hero has Ad Ah (two pair, aces and jacks).
CO has Tc Ks (two pair, jacks and tens).
Outcome: SB wins t4235.


So was my preflop bet correct and should I have pushed all in on the flop
The part that really suxs is that the SB went on to win the SNG Bad play getting rewarded
