Default Re: ($5) Busted out first hand with 99

I play a lot of 5 and $10 SNGs, and one thing I have learned (especially at the 5s) is that at least half the players at any given table have absolutely no idea what they are doing, and 3 of the other 5 know just enough to overthink everything and play poorly (I am probably one of those LOL). Also, almost every game will start with at least two knockouts in the first 10 hands. Button was wrong oddswise to call your pot sized bet after the flop, but you were never going to chase out 6 other hands with a pot size bet, and with all those calls pre-flop there is just way too much of a chance of two pair, two overcards, or straight draws out there, and in $5 games many players WILL chase a gut shot draw all the way to the river. Button is a perfect example, he raised with trash, called your pot sized bit with a gut shot, then went all in on a pair of tens...TERRIBLE!

YOu should have raised pre-flop to isolate or called pre-flop and checked the flop and turn and folded to any bet.
