Starting to excel

So I spent the better portion of my free time the past week creating a spreadsheet to track my sit 'n go results. I had one previously, but this one helps keep stats a bit better. I only played 3 SnG's today and won two and busted out in 8th on the other, you can see the hand if you continue reading.
Poker Session Results
Session Results: UP $34.00
Current Winnings: $225.50
I only have 30 SnG's recorded so far, so my stats so far can be a bit misleading. Once I get some more under my belt I will post so more information. But basically I am up $75.00 since I decided to stop playing ring games and strictly focus on SnG's. I think once I double up to $300 I will move up to the $10+1 ones and see how it goes.

This morning I also had an interview for some contract work at a company that would basically include me setting up computers and such. Nothing too difficult but it would hopefully get my foot in the door so I could get a "real" job. It's been so long since I've worked I forget what it's like. Hopefully all works out and in less that a couple weeks time I am working. Then I'll use whatever poker winnings I can to help out my girlfriend with her bills.

Here is the offending hand in which I was eliminated in 8th place in my second tournament. I thought I played it correctly, but perhaps I should have had some idea that my K's were no good. But it's also hard to tell because in my experiences with these low limit tourneys people have been calling my all-in bets with anything. (i.e. Did the guy with 44 honestly think his hand was good?)
