I don't overbet the pot on the flop. With this hand you dont want to let the pot size get out of control. If you bet 20-30, it's likely the opponents raise will be smaller and thus easier to deal with. When you overbet the pot, suddenly the raises become larger and put you in tougher situations. The pot just isn't large enough for me to start making overbets trying to protect it as much as possible.

Ah, the recurring theme of building a pot with a marginal hand. Seems it's my MO... I think early in a SNG I tend to play looser/faster than most posters here because I'm not 8-tabling (just 2), and I'm an action junkie. Maybe a nice monitor built for 4-tables will slow me down... good advice on keeping the pot small- thanks.
