First night results

Well tonight went ok but really just due to the 18p tournies. For the 18 players ones I got one 1st and one 3rd out of 3 tournies.
The 9 player ones were not so good. Got two 3rds and one 1st out of 9 tournies. I'm having a real problem with the 9 player tournies on FTP. When I played the 10 man SNGS on Ongame I did much better. I guess they were a bit slower structure and tighter. On Ongame I could play speculative hands early on and get to see the flop not too expensive. It is more aggressive on FTP and it isn't even worth limping in early with a small pair or suited connectors. The other problem I had tonight was trying to play some flops when I had less than 20 blinds.
e.g. tonight I have 1200 chips in the big blind (BB 150) with 10 7 off. Folded to button who limps as does small blind. Flop 872 rainbow. Not too bad - i fire out a 1/2 pot bet. Button calls (he has me well covered). I have to think my 7 is good and that he has a str8 draw. Turn is a Queen. Well doesn't really hit the straight draws so I figure I should bet again - another 1/2 pot bet - he check raises all in - well what can I do I had about 3 blinds left - whatever - he has AA - i'm out.
So I don't know what to do in these situations - if I check I am just opening the door for him to steal it. The 9p SNGs just seem so short stacked that I can't play a pot after level 3. Maybe it will be better to use the Moshman pushing tables once I am shortstacked.
Another problem tonight was losing value - twice I flopped full houses with unpaired hole cards and with 5/6 people in pot got no action. e.g. early on in one SNG i'm in unraised small blind with KQ and flop is KKQ. Most of the table have limped in. I fire out a pot sized bet. I know this looks stupid but I figure someone out of all the players in must have something. I've tried slowplaying these in the past but failed to build a pot. Anyway they all folded!
Also did two 45p SNGS but no luck on these. They need a bit of patience i guess.
Closing roll $200.18
