Ok, this comes from a $5 SnG on Stars. These 40 hands shown demonstrate play from when it was 5-handed to the time I busted out in 3rd place. I apologize for the length of the post, but I was really trying a new strategy of just flat-out aggression. I would really love to discuss this with any SnG buffs who don't mind reading a long post and looking over a lot of hands.

I know the last play was a real donkey move, so berate me all you like. That really wasn't how I wanted to end the tournament, but I just got carried away. I'll be a little more thoughtful last time (just a note though, I don't think that guy calls me without a Jack, a flush, or the A-high draw).

yikes, thats a big post...i'm really surprised i read it....makes me think about a maximize size for posts(is there one?)....heh...
anyways....early on, with that table, things were looking pretty good, nobody was calling...generally tho i try to semi-bluff blind raise twice, then let the others go...doing it 3 times in a row really makes ppl gun for you generally i think...once it got shorter handed though, it looks like your credibility was shot...
hand #98 was particularly risky at that point...first of all BB shoulda called w/ almost anything as he's getting 5 to 1 odds there...but anyways, SB calling was slightly surprising, so i woulda figured he had QJ, KJ, QT, JT something around there or at least some paint, perhaps AX...maybe a small PP....then w/ that flop....i would've expected him to hit something...plus he may be prone to slow-playing considering how aggressive you've been (hence the check)...your overbet looks a little suspicious since the only draw on the board is the club draw, but heads up you cant really expect that....plus w/ him sitting in front of that giant stack...he could've very easily have called...and if he did, yer almost definitely in need of a runner runner...but then again, he did fold...
I don't think the last hand was *that* bad...i think you were gonna take a serious hit here no matter wut....betting the pot or a probe bet may have been a better move imho....but he prolly woulda called...but if he raised a good amount, i prolly woulda ran...but, then you hit yer straight, and its doom from there....
i've run into this exact situation several times before...i feel i've got a good hand, but not the flush and i overbet to try and get the draws out, and one of two things happen a lot...either they have the flush and i'm screwed...or they called w/ 1 or 2 overs and a flush draw and it turns into a coin flip....however, heads up, that is the kinda flop that a bluff can work very well, cuz its scary, but at the same time, you dont wanna be screwed or in a coin flip situation where a good sized bet would've done nearly just as well as an all-in generally
on a side note, the fact that you had a heart helped you a little....and you werent drawing dead til the turn....runner runner straight flush potential....thats wut i count on

Yeah actually, thats pretty much how I play with a decent stack and the table getting short-handed. Raising a lot. But #98 looked odd when you pushed in. Everything else looked good, till maybe that last hand.

A few points here:
You were 'caught' for the first time on #74 where you folded to the all-in, but continued aggression on the next hand. I think in a higher level game this is a good move, but here I would pass the dueces.
Did you really hit the wrong button on 78? Cause you should've folded preflop after being caught earlier.
Can't believe you got away with 79, nice move.
Horrible preflop call on 89 IMO, Hypnos seemed pretty tight, can't bleieve you got away with that one.
Another bad move on 93. I think you need to let the two small stacks fight this one out when you've got 99.
Last hand was fine, you're supposed to get caught with your hand in the cookie jar every so often, or else you're not playing the game right.
In general I like two things, you raised the same amount every hand, and you stayed out of the chat at a rather chat-friendly table. I think that gave you a great table image

Thanks so much for your help, guys. I really appreciate it.
On 78, I did not hit the wrong button. I made a donkey call hoping for a 9 or A to bust him. Bad play I know.
79, I was pretty sure he hadn't hit that flop, so I decided to push him around. If he had a decent hand, he would have gone all-in, but his min-bet was gutless, so I felt confident pushing it.
89, I was thinking just to run a cooperation play, but I realize my holdings were too weak. I agree this wasn't a stellar play.
93 I have no idea what I was thinking. It was clear at least one of them had a legitimate hand. I might have called here to take a flop, but raising was clearly the wrong decision. I'm fairly upset with my play here. If Jay had an A, I might have moved into second place or better automatically on this hand.
