FTP $20+$2 SNGs: I can still read!!!!

I just finished 2nd in a $20 SNG and I couldn't be happier, why? I can still read hands! I've been running pretty bad this week in the $20 SNGs, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to do another 25 before I can move up to the $50 SNGs. That's not really that big of a deal, but I had started to doubt my self, and it's been compounding many problems. I both saved myself some flop bets (in unopened pots) and made some good calls.

I'm 60/40 ahead here when I go with 87d against his hand, and I'm behind against Axd(X>8) or any 5. I was pretty sure he didn't have a hand like AKs, AQs, AJs because he just called, and it's pretty wierd to just call with that to what clearly looked like a button steal. Anyway, I ultimately decided I was pretty sure he had A6, small posssibility of an overpair like 77, 88, or 99 or A5.
