Bad call? Or no?

if youre going to play this hand shorthanded play it for a raise. but really you should have folded this to begin with PF. I like a little bit of a bigger raise on the flop to try to buy a free river if you need it.
youre raise on the turn is really really awful. You have a big draw, and hes letting you get it cheaply. Just call and see the river, then if you miss you can fold and havent lost that much.
youre call after the shove is bad. youre not getting the 2:1 odds you need to chase your draw.
Basically, this is the problem with playing a hand like this. put it in the muck.

fold pf

Yea? I felt like I had plenty of outs though. Flush draw, open ended straight draw.

You had 15 outs, which roughly equals 30% to hit. Calling when you are 3:1 to hit while getting 2.5:1 on your money is bad in a cash game, it's even worse in a SNG. Oh, and fold that junk PF.

On the flop, 2 cards to come, yeah you're good. On the turn compare your outs to non outs and you'll see youre getting your money in pretty bad.

Also, and I dont mean to be demeaning, but you'd be better off analyzing some of these mathematical situations on your own, and you'll improve as a player.

the min raise on the flop seems to have bought you a cheap turn, you have lots of outs and donkeys that will pay you off when you hit - so just call the turn bet

after raising, fold to the raise, here's why:

you (hopefully) are FAR better than your competition

and t1,000 at l1 is healthy enough to do some damage in situations when you are NOT chasing
