This was a low buy-in SNG, I do very well most of the time. However, these type of hands get me in a lot of trouble, as you can see. Please tell me what I did wrong here or how I can avoid this from happening. Thanks.

Nothing you can do here. You were supposed to go broke.

Ugh thats killer. Looks like you played everything to me. After the smooth call on the flop and turn though, I might have checked the river. Unfortunately he would then have gone "all-in" and left you with a tough call... which you should probably make. Either way, you are losing money.
With hindsight being 20-20 it's easy to say "check the turn" after the smooth call on the flop, but I probably would have taken another stab at the pot too.
Tough beat.

Yeah, don't see what you could have done differently.

Well thanks guys, made me feel a lot better haha. Guess you kinda just have to roll with the punches. I did another right after and took 2nd so that kinda made up for it.
