I see it is the first hand in the SNG, people tend to be sticky in the first hands while deep + limper from the button.
I like your betting size, but I would gone for more preflop (up to 9BBs) and I would've bet much less on the river, maybe 1/3 pot, a station could call A high or baby pair with the board pairing on the river

Bet was too high on the river. You only get called by better hands or morons in that situation.

1/3-1/2 pot you can probably get a king to call.

Only hands that will call there are hands that beat you. Bet less than 1/3 pot or go for a check call

Check river, there isn't much value in betting, there aren't many worse hands that will call you.

Just curious the thinking for turning up the heat on the turn and river bets. The flop bet looks good, but then you start going 3/4 pot and once you start doing this, only hands beating you are staying in .. X/C river
