Hand #1 Jumped the gun a little too soon

Hand #2 seems very weak when looking at it now even though
raiser was solid

Hand #3 He likely had little but I didn't want to risk my game.
Any comments are appreciated

Hand 1 I fold. Not worth trying to steal for only t50 blinds IMHO.

Hand 2 I push. He's either playin pocket aces or kings cute, or he's on a 4 flush draw...probably the nuts. You have him pretty well covered and have a decent investment in the pot already. I put him all in.

Hand 3 I fold after the first bet. Depending on the player, a min-raise sometimes is a sign of strength. Maybe a big pair, don't think he would have re-raised when the rags flop unless he's got something or on a stone cold bluff.

I have played quite a few SNGs on party now:

Hand 1: Being the short-stack that you are, yes you need to go all-in, but also go all-in on hands, if called by somebody you can win /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hand 2: Since you are the chip leader, you just need to chill and can even fold this PF.I actually would not say push here, for all you know he could even have AT.

Hand 3:Fold this PF. Once again you are doing good chip-wise, no need to call raise/call with AQo.
