Board
Seat 1: weable folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: bruinfan folded on the Flop
Seat 3: need1 folded on the Turn
Seat 5: Toasty420 (small blind) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: Styln (big blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 7: JJgivaway folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: G-Factor showed and won (2655) with Two Pairs, Aces and Sevens, Ten high
Seat 9: patmeup folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 10: billy71 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
I felt that I had to bet out after catching 2 pair on the turn, and just being called and checked. I had G-Factor on A and something high... or maybe even just middle pair.
Obviously I was wrong. Is there something there that should have told me that he had me beat? If not, how could I have gotten that information?
Or... did I just get screwed?

when you're learning the game, you'll make tons of these mistakes w/top pair.
that early in the tourney, the preflop play is OK. Some tighter players will fold to w/that while others have no problem playing it. Since you're in position I don't think it's that bad.
Flop: this is where you screwed up. You just committed a third of your stack w/no flush draw and a terrible kicker. Remember, you're reraising the preflop raiser who bet this flop w/an ace on board. Since he made it so cheap to get to the next card, take it.
Turn and river: are just the results of your flop play. No way you're folding.
Put me in that hand, i'd go:
Flop: call.
Turn: raise and if I got called. . . look to check the river.

Yes... that sounds much smarter.
I even know that my 6 kicker sucked. It was playable, but it wasn't the best. I guess I got too aggresive and didn't get a chance to get any information from G-Factor. And I could have used my position to my advantage a bit better then I did. I fell in love with 2 pair a's and 6's... and he had me one up.
Ahh well... at least it was only a $1 entry fee. 
I know what to do next time though.
