Hey there SNG 2+2ers.
I'm usually a $2/$4 player, but, in the past week, I've discovered the beauty that is party's $10+$1 NL SNGs.
I've lurked around and read almost all threads listed in "the shadow"'s "Favorite Threads and Links for STT FAQ v.3 (long) (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=1918735&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=7&o=14&fpart=1)" thread, and after some careful single tabling, I'm now 4-tabling, and have a 34.55% ROI after 125 $10+$1s (damn only having a single monitor, and damn you raptor for having 4). So, naturally, I have some questions.
1) First off, whats the suggested sample size at a single buy-in before posting stats/taking them seriously? My ROI was about 39.9% before I played around 10 SNGs in my late night session, so I guess that goes a long way in saying how little my sample size is. With that in mind, I'd still like to know what the 2+2 standard is.
2) Here are a couple of hands I played tonight.
2.1) Please yell at me for being such a donk when I saw the straight flush draw I was holding. The only explanation I have for how this hand turned out is that I was very, very tired.
P.S: I was so tired, I didn't even notice how early in the tournament it was -- otherwise I would've probably folded this pre-flop.

2.2) Is this the default play? A raise of 3BB would've put me about 50% in, and I'm trying to follow the %40/All-in rule that I've read about.

2.3) Here, I had taken most of SB's stack a few hands back, and he was looking to fix his fatal situation, comparing his stack to mine, and looking at the blinds, I thought calling with any two suited cards was OK. Am I right? What would you do?

3) Finally, I'm wondering if there are any important threads I've missed that were not included in the aforementioned megathread for SNGs that I should be reading before multitabling $10+$1.
Thank you for your input.
