Beer and Poker

Back from the Lamcombe/Waterfront I played and won a couple of $2 HU games and then sat in for a $5+0.50 9 handed SNG. Got off to a good start with a tricky hand. I reraised JJ out of position and was called by two players. One very loose and the other solid. The board was 884. I check-raise allin and both call. I really don't know where I stand. Not sure if it was a good play or not. The good player had checked behind so I thought it slightly more likely he had an AK, AQ type hand. My hand held up okay against AK and some rubbish. I had a chunck of my stack taken of me when holding top pair and an inside straight draw in a multi-way pot. The river brings a straight for me and a flush. I faced a raise of $150 into a pot of close to 2K so called and lost to a King flush.
Get outplayed thereafter and settle for second place while Moocher railbirds and enjoys the whupping.
Made to it to heads-up against a solid player who made my life difficult as he whittled my stack down. Sober I would have beat hmi of course!
