Winning by not losing - Stars $10 SNG

[Ken Morris]

Thanks all for an excellent tactical lesson. Let me see if I have it:

1) The first player who called me might have done better to come in with a raise, to shut others out.
2) Because of the blinds and my short stack, the player who over-called was getting sufficient odds to play just about any two cards.
3) The second caller's subsequent bet into the "dry" side-pot increased his chances of winning the main pot, BUT also increased my chances of tripling up. If his priority had been to eliminate one additional player (me), he should have checked the hand down to increase the chances that I would bust out.

Have I got it?

Thanks again.
