You're going to get chopped down in pushing some bad hands...even a blind squirrel finds a nut. But just quickly scanning your original post, there are so many cards that went check-check (and I didn't see your opponent check-raise) that a bet would have taken them down -- regardless of the cards you held.

Don't push all-in every time when you steal. Even a single bet into a two-bet pot can be enough. Try different bets (pot-sized, over-betting, single bets) and see what your opponent does. At the level I assume you're at (which is the level I play at) if you get raised or check-raised your opponent has the real deal.

You'll see that being aggressive really, really, really pays off. I started playing $6 PP SNGs on June 1. 32 SNGs later, I've been in the money 19 times and I'm up over $160. All thanks to being more and more aggressive.
