Default Did I dig myself into a hole with this bluff?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t7905)
Button (t875)
SB (t3430)
Hero (t1290)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
CO calls t50, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero checks

Flop: (t125) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t75</font>, CO calls t75

Turn: (t275) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t150</font>, CO calls t150

River: (t575) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t400</font>, <font color="red">CO raises to t1000</font>,

Hero: ???

I'm sure I badly misplayed this hand, but I'm not sure where. My table image is very tight, and I haven't bluffed at all during this SNG.

Should I have not fired again on the turn, after he called me on the flop? Should I have bet on the river (when I had something), after betting the flop/turn (when I didn't have anything)? Is this an easy fold after his all-in? It's an $11 SNG.

I'd check this flop probably all the time, also that's a really bad turn card that I'd always give up on. Once the river comes I'd probably c/c.

note to self: don't bluff as the 2nd shortest stack on the bubble. or pretty much ever. sngs are profitable enough just playing them straightforward.

just preserve your stack and wait for another better spot.
c/f flop
c/f turn
c/c river

Hey, BB is just 50 - there's no hurry for fancy play here while you have nearly 50% more chips than button. Check/fold this hand except for calling a max 100 bet at river.

I agree with the others, but if you check the flop and CO checks, with the gutshot and overcards I might take a little stab on the turn. If called, I'd check/call the river with the top pair.

I imagine this is a low level sng since teh BB is 50 and we are on the bubble so you should pretty much never be bluffing.

You are the only one who has noticed this. You will not make anyone lay down anything, so don't try.
