I am really trying to improvie my SNG game before moving up (actually I would be happy jsut get a +ROI). Even though I ended up winning this hand, did I make the correct play? Do fish do these suicide moves often enough to make it right?

Thanks...

Why did you raise KJ pf?

flop looks fine

and yes, there are fish that do these suicidal plays even at the higher levels.

I don't raise preflop. I just limp. KJo is just not that good a hand, even on the Button. Limping allows you to play position a bit more, and keeps the pot small.

Once you hit your Jack, and Villain bets, there's t210 in the pot, Villain doesn't have enough behind, and I think I'd raise here, probably committing myself.
