Edit: Couldn't get the converter to redo the HHs, they came out the same, so I just pasted them. Sorry
Not trying to clutter the boards but I'm getting some good direction this morning. Finished an SNG and there are four hands where I really am not sure if I did the right thing.
First: JJ in early position. I've gotten conflicting advice; some say it's too strong to limp, others say that you quickly get yourself committed with an easily drawn-out on hand. Here I limp and plan to ditch on action, but chip leader's raise feels like bullying and shorty's call feels weak as well, so I come over the top. Bully folds, shorty calls. Good spot or overplay of my hand?

Second: I think I just need a genearl line for how to play an weak overpair. I think I need to lead the flop and check the turn. It induces bluffing which forced me to fold, but leading just digs me into a whole. Maybe raise here PF given not much show of strength?

Third: A month ago my analysis would have been, "Sweet Jesus I have QQ!" Now I appreciate that the issue is more complicated. 1) there are still a lot of active players behind me 2) there are actually a few hands UTG could have that piss me off. I call because 1) playing AA, KK like this isn't too common (I think), against AK I'm still a favorite and against any other AQ-, KQ- I'm a solid favorte, and I dominate a likely midpair. Never doubt a call here? This guy hasn't made himself out to be too tight, but what if he had been.

Fourth: here I try to apply a blanket concept and am not sure it's appropriate. It's folded to SB who calls, I push, he calls. I was thinking a) if it's folded to me in the button/SB, push any A or any K7+ b) if it's folded to the SB who calls and I'm in the BB, push the same hands. Clearly I'm not upset with the board, but this guy had a looser calling range than I realized. Any comments?
