I finished 3rd in a $1 SnG last night.
I feel like I really played well, was patient, made one or two loose calls, but for the most part I sat back and waited then moved aggressively when I felt I had it.
On a board of K-Q-J-10 I went all in (I did have an ace), hoping the overbet would encourage someone with a 9 or two pair to call me.
It didn't work but I think it threw players off to my style of play.
I tripled up with a Qh-8h.  The flop was 7h-8c-5h, so I pushed all in and got two callers.  I made two pair on the turn and caught my flush on the river.  One player made an obnoxious comment but the rest of the table came to my defense.
Later I saw a flop with pocket 3s but called a minimum raise on a flop of 3 overcards (normally I'll fold).  I made a set on the turn and a fullhouse on the river.  Didn't get paid too much on that one though.
My biggest hand came at the final table when I was 6th with 6 remaining.  I tripled up with pocket kings.  When it was down to 3 I was shortest but still had plenty of chips.  I got dealt pocket 10s, raised, the went all-in after a reraise.  My opponent had A-10 but caught an ace on the flop to knock me out.
