18 max 8.70 turbo 24+2 token satellite

At 11:53 it was time to start this SNG, so I donned the 'angry' face, and off we went. I started off with good luck by being placed in the big blind; and with a shitty hand, I prepped myself for the typical 'fold unless you need to steal, or have a premium hand' strategy. Pretty boring, but very easy to cash.
The first hand I played was a(c)j(h), from utg+1, with blinds at 25-50, the small blind called, and the flop came q(s)k(d)5(d), he checked and I c-bet 250 into the 400 pot, and he folded leaving me with 1680 in chips.
The next hand I played was Q3 suited in hearts, (40-80) from the big blind it was folded to sb who completed. The flop brough a(s)q(s)9(d), sb min bet, I called, and when the turn brought a 6(h) the sb bet 320, and I folded.
A few hands later I saw a(c)a(h) in the cutoff, it was folded to me, and I raised the pot to 350 and the blinds folded.
Later in middle position, I stole the blinds with a9o.
Man the blinds go quick in these turbos.
The next hand I played was a k(d)4(c), checked around on the flop of 9(d)j(d)5(c), the turn brought the 4(d). I called the buttons bet of 120 giving me 4:1 on my flush draw, and the river bricked out so I checked and folded.
Soon enough the blinds were at 80-160, and I only had 1390 in chips, forcing me to start finding spots to push at.
I made my first steal in the sb with 95o when it was folded to me. I minraised and he folded away his 200 chips.
The very next hand with an unsuited qk, I pushed from mp, only to get insta called by aces and lose the hand, and get knocked out in 11th.
