I had a lot of chips in relation to the blinds and figured I'd try to make a move:

PokerStars Game #3995885495: Tournament #19570015, Hold'em No Limit - Level II (15/30) - 2006/02/16 - 20:28:37 (ET)
Table '19570015 365' Seat #7 is the button
Seat 1: tentrum (4380 in chips)
Seat 2: supaj77 (1100 in chips) is sitting out
Seat 3: tmanbay (1305 in chips)
Seat 4: BigWil1000 (1650 in chips)
Seat 5: yogi3325 (1390 in chips)
Seat 6: luxor99 (1418 in chips)
Seat 7: azureXsmurF (3015 in chips)
Seat 8: spy_glass (1795 in chips)
Seat 9: broncosoog16 (1990 in chips)
spy_glass: posts small blind 15
broncosoog16: posts big blind 30
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to azureXsmurF [5s 4s]
tentrum: calls 30
supaj77: folds
tmanbay: calls 30
BigWil1000: raises 90 to 120
yogi3325: calls 120
luxor99: folds
azureXsmurF: calls 120
spy_glass: calls 105
broncosoog16: calls 90
tentrum: calls 90
tmanbay: folds
*** FLOP *** [8h 2c 2d]
spy_glass: checks
broncosoog16: bets 30
tentrum: calls 30
BigWil1000: calls 30
yogi3325: calls 30
azureXsmurF: calls 30
spy_glass: folds
*** TURN *** [8h 2c 2d] [6s]
broncosoog16: bets 90
tentrum: calls 90
BigWil1000: calls 90
yogi3325: raises 90 to 180
azureXsmurF: calls 180
broncosoog16: calls 90
tentrum: calls 90
BigWil1000: calls 90
*** RIVER *** [8h 2c 2d 6s] [Js]
broncosoog16: checks
tentrum: checks
BigWil1000: checks
yogi3325: checks
azureXsmurF: bets 685
broncosoog16: folds
tentrum: folds
BigWil1000: folds
yogi3325: folds
azureXsmurF collected 1800 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1800 | Rake 0
Board [8h 2c 2d 6s Js]
Seat 1: tentrum folded on the River
Seat 2: supaj77 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: tmanbay folded before Flop
Seat 4: BigWil1000 folded on the River
Seat 5: yogi3325 folded on the River
Seat 6: luxor99 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: azureXsmurF (button) collected (1800)
Seat 8: spy_glass (small blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 9: broncosoog16 (big blind) folded on the River

I was pretty confident that they were all scared of the J since they all bet/called the other betting rounds, and I had a tight image since I'd only been showing down good hands... so I figured "Hey, I have chips, let's see what happens" and threw out that 1/3 pot bet. I figured I'd just ditch the hand if anyone did come back at me.

 what are you doing? why would u ever call the flop and turn? I don't want to sound harsh, sorry im overeacting. You really shouldn't call flop and turn bets with that hand. It's a major leak. I assume the flop call was because "it's only 30 chips." It doesn't matter if it's 30 chips, it's bad pot odds. the turn... inside straight draws suck, fold them.

hey shaun, how is poker going for you?

for the post - i'm pretty inexperienced with SNGs, but I don't think this is a very+ev play (on any street). that being said if you had a solid read on all 4 players in the pot more power to you...but most of the time it's an unecessary shot in the dark (and so is calling flop, turn).

calling 30 into a 600 pot on the flop with position and 180 into an 1100 chip pot (6:1) on the turn with a double gutshot straight and a rainbow board is probably okay but you have to lay this hand down preflop into a raised pot.

 sorry misread post, the flop I'd still just fold, but the turn is fine, not good but fine. The river trying to bluff that pot isn't a great idea. A min raise on the turn would make me think someone has a 2.
