Did I do this right? Should I have even been in this pot???

The odds seemed to be there Pre Folp So I figured the call was good. When everyone checked on the flop I figured my bet on the turn was worth while. The raise seemed to not hurt my odds so I called....
I am guessing she had a 6 or Kx. Any thoughts on wether I should have played this differently?

I would bet smaller on the turn and fold to his raise.

I would most likely fold preflop before that also.

Or raise PF. Blinds are small, stacks are deep. I don't like limp-calling UTG with this hand.

[Freudian]

With four players calling a 4xBB raise I think it would take a pretty committing raise to get it headsup here.

[hummusx]

Sorry wasn't advocating a re-raise. Open-raising was the possible alternate action I was offering. I think there's a pretty good chance that a couple of those callers would have folded for a raise if they hadn't already limped. People get really attached to their hand.

[IamLeach]

Would you then advocate all EP plays ( or most) be done with a raise?

[hummusx]

Yes. There are basically 3 things I do UTG early in a SNG: Fold (mostly), raise (premium hands), limp (mid/low pocket pairs). Depending on table texture I've been known to limp AQ or KQs if I feel good about seeing the flop for just the one bet. But you have to be really careful. Limping where you did wasn't bad, but I think calling the raise might have been questionable. You are first to call the raise and still have 3 more people to act behind you. Folding might be a little weak, but you aren't in good position and you don't have a good multi-way hand.
