So after burrying my last 1.20 on Pokerstar at a 1+0.20$ 45 Player SnG i'd need some advise on several hands, i dont feel quite as if i could interpret them all correctly.
1)I started pretty early in the tornament with this hand :
Seat 1: DeaTacita (1380 in chips)
Seat 2: 2dogholdem (1480 in chips)
Seat 3: Luna 04 (1560 in chips)
Seat 4: Showboat68 (1760 in chips)
Seat 5: hawkeys (1480 in chips)
Seat 6: moejoe15 (1500 in chips)
Seat 7: Sherrell_777 (1380 in chips)
Seat 8: Blise (1480 in chips)
Seat 9: Supersnorkel (1480 in chips)
Showboat68: posts small blind 10
hawkeys: posts big blind 20
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Blise  
moejoe15: calls 20
Sherrell_777: folds
Blise: calls 20
Supersnorkel: calls 20
DeaTacita: raises 20 to 40
2dogholdem: folds
Luna 04: folds
Showboat68: folds
hawkeys: folds
moejoe15: folds
Blise: calls 20
Supersnorkel: calls 20
*** FLOP ***   
Blise: checks
Supersnorkel: checks
DeaTacita: checks
*** TURN *** 
Blise: bets 80
Supersnorkel: folds
DeaTacita: raises 80 to 160
what to do now ? in Fact i thought i played the hand pretty poorly from the beginning, i was out of position and called a reraise instead of folding it right there, but after the flop was checked around i had the feeling my ace might be good, with the King on the Turn i thought maybe i could take the pot away with a 4/5pot raise but got I reraised.
Ive got nearly no reads on DeaTacita. Its a Pot of 340 with 80 to call, giving me 5 - 1 pot odds, is this a reasonable call with a insight straight draw and an Overcard ? I sensed some weakness on his side, but i wasnt quite sure if he hit the K, maybe he just realised that i tried to steal it.
Thx for Help
2) Second hand that really made me think, later in the tornament with about 20 people left, after a lot ups and downs, generally i thought ive got a not too tight , not too loose image, showed very few hands down, loosing half of my pots on the showdown put stealing blinds from time to time out of reasonable positions with normal raises :
Level VII (100/200) - Seat #9 is the button
Seat 1: Sherrell_777 (10500 in chips)
Seat 2: Blise (3784 in chips)
Seat 4: Binario (5263 in chips)
Seat 7: fdc cwi (5070 in chips)

Blise: ?
Reads made on Sherrel: Only saw her playing one or two hands, limping several times but always folding to any reraises preflop. Now with this flop and the 200 Bet into a 725$ Pot i really had the feeling she was on a flush draw. Would it be reasonable to throw my hand away even with the good pot odds, btw the odds id have if she hasnt the draw ? is my draw probably too weak to play it ? The third player in the hand is a very aggressive player that usualy gets pretty weak if he isnt the one who raises, so he shouldnt be considered.
Second thought on the hand, if i really thought that she might have a flushdraw this would decrese the Odds heavily , so what do do ?
Could i consider her playing the straight draw ?
This was really my i think evening deciding hand.
Ended up getting 8. out of 45 , leaving me with 0$ money, but a pretty good feeling because i lost a lot of my coinflips and didnt run broke on a AKT Flop after hitting two Pairs with AT, loosing to a really really slow played Ak...
Thanks for any suggestions on those two hands, in fact i realise that the 1$ buyins arent the places where you find you top players, but i think those are pretty much the players that i want to compete with right now
