Ouch. I think you have a couple elements going on here.
1. It's a $5.50 SNG and you're rolling the dice at games with these stakes.
2. Some guys get married to their higher pocket pairs (JJ+).
I've been guilty of #2 myself but I think I would have re-raised all-in preflop and lost my chips respectfully... lol
It's tough not to over-rate pocket pairs. I said in another thread that pocket pair is only just that, a pair. | | |

It's not Cakepoker, i think the game at pokerstars is much better and they respect a raise, the game suits me much better at Pokerstars. That's probably why my BR there goes steady up and at cake it's ALOT up and ALOT down.
I don't think it's like rolling the dice at the $5.50 SNGs, it usually is decent play not like the higher and our forum games but i only find like 1-2 donks in a full table. Not like Cake, where it is 4-5, or is it just that the cards hit in another way at Cake?

I've never played Cake, do they allow Americans?
For my experience, the $10 and below games at PS get a little random. I think the quality of play at $10 has gotten better but I'm scared of the $5.
There's some big hitters that play $20. Gotta bring your "A" game for that one. | | |

Way I see it is, you could have done 3 things on the flop, slow play, put him all in expecting a fold, or play him for a sucker to get more out of him. Looks to me like you were doing the third. So you got your wish. The sucker stayed in. So apart from the poker fairy being her usual sadistic self on the river, what's the problem? Suckers are suckers, what does it matter why, unless you'll be playing they guy regulalry. | | |

PS $5 SnG are a crap shoot. they bet with nothing and hit on turn and/or river on a regular basis. I'll stick to the brick n mortar games. | | |
