I decided to play 4 SNG's even though im supposed to be on a break and I managed to pull out a 195% ROI. Anyway im not going to play until break is over, and this is a nice boost to my bankroll for when I come back. I have a few hands from there and a few other hands from a friend that im not sure how to play. If any of you amazing SNG players (im looking at you curtains and unarmed) or anybody else could give me some advice on these hands it would be great. All of these are at the 30+3 level.

I have a feeling this is either an easy fold or an easy push. As you can see I chose easy push, but was I right?

This hand really bothered me, should I have led out for 50 on the turn for more information? After thinking for awile I realize it was too likely for him too have random 2 pair on the river, should I have looked him up?

I am pretty sure folding this to the all in raise was correct, but should I have raised in the first place? I figured this lets me get off cheaply if he is slowplaying a big hand because I only lose 65 instead of all my chips when the flop comes T42 this also doesnt give the blinds a free look. Actually as I type this out im pretty sure I played this correctly, but since Ive already gone this far I mise well post it.

I'm sure I totally butchered this hand, my feeble poker mind doesnt grasp playing low cards, somebody help me find the correct line here.
Anyway thats all for now, thanks in advance.
