How should I have played in this situation?

$3.50 45 Man SNG on Stars.

I basically have no idea where to start on this, I played it so badly!

I think I should've folded preflop from the SB and definately not called the 3bet (mistakes 1 and 2)

Flop: should I have jammed?

Turn: given that I got to this stage, was my line reasonable?

Thanks all!

Once you get a flop like this (espically with the effective stacks in play) I'd shove.

If it weren't a dry sidepot, I'd be inclined to agree. In this case, getting a fold isn't worth nearly what it would be in a heads up pot, because you still have to outrace the all in player, and most of the times that you do that you would have won against the other player anyway. Also there aren't really value hands I'd just shove on the flop.

Pre-flop is fine, better than any of your other options. Flop I'd either bet – (reluctantly) call or check-raise after such a weak bet from Villain. As played, I'd just check-shove turn, I don't see what the tiny raise accomplishes. Basically just a cooler, don't lose sleep over this one.

Thanks guys, I won the hand with my flush. The villian made a set of 10's on the turn.

I'd guess the money would have gone in on the turn anyway but flatting the weak flop bet certainly madde the pot odds right for the rest of the hand.

My problem was that I don't think I had a plan if the turn flush didn't hit; I am guessing that I'd have called the min bet and check/folded the river if I didn't hit.

Calling a small bet and folding to a big one is fine. Because it’s a (practically) dry sidepot, V ought to play pretty honestly, so you can just call if he gives you immediate odds to chase and fold otherwise.
