Let me guess, this was a low buy-in SNG? maybe $1+.10 or lower? If so then that is why. At these low levels, a lot of the players will put that buyin on the line to win because it is chump change. They do not think of their odds to hit their hand or about how you have been playing, but just that they might get lucky with one of those hands, and it happens all the time. Move up a little bit in your buy-in price, if your bankroll supports it that is, and you won't see this as often(although you still see it sometimes, you still have the rich idiots)

let me see if i understand... blinds were 50-100 and you just raise to 200?? well thats your fault really.. you should raise at least 4 or 5 bb preflop, cause this will avoid that players with bad hands enter in the pot... then in the turn, you played well however your opponent went lucky at the river and beats you....

Stop slowplaying them and it won't happen as often at the low stakes. People will play any two cards at them.
