    Hi

    Pre flop is where most of it went wrong - min raise followed by another min reraise not going to get anyone to fold and does nothing for the pot. If the guy playing loose and calling wide put a nice bet to say 300 on the reraise. Then if they donk lead on flop like that reraise them big again - I would like a pot size bet here with a view to get it all in on flop as many scare cards could come on turn. As played, ypu do not know where you are by river so understand the call.
    A lot of genuine hands are there, any K, straights filled, not sure who would bluff river that wet.

    Run well

    As said pre is where it went wrong the most. 

    UTG and in early positions we want to raise more. 3x minimum, especially early in an MTT/SNG as you will get looser calls. Min raising button is passable. We want to be building pots with premium hands. By raising more pre that means any reraise is going to be bigger therefore making it easier on later streets to get our stack in. 

    On the flop we have been given a second chance to make things right. By his pot bet it is very rare someone is doing this with a set and any two pair hand (although sometimes K7/q7 will do this as a scared bet wanting to end the hand for fearing a bad run out) but that is rare and we do have outs). It's more likely weak top pairs and draws and we can just shove over. If he folds no big deal as we have won a decent pot and he can def call with worse.
