Re: $5 - Help my play in this SNG - 4 hands.
I agree it's not great to play middle pairs for set value with big blinds. But this has got to be the perfect situation.. you're in the BB, with a minraiser and two callers behind you. Your pot odds are 7:1, which is about the odds of flopping a set even if you completely discount implied odds.

RESULTS
Well, I've picked up some great advice and thank you all for your comments, it's interesting seeing so many different responses, but I've picked up some good stuff. Here come the results and my conclusions:
HAND #1 Previously I would have called, but decided to tighten up on the first few levels, still neither calling or folding seems terrible so I may decide to mix it up a bit and see what happens in the future. Picked up a dream flop and somebody betting heavily, sod's law!

OOP I think I would have folded, but I picked up two pair and the money got in there itself. Villian accused me of being a donk for calling on the turn, although I tried explaining to him my justifications for the play he was having none of it, although didn't complain when he sucked out on me the very next hand you'll see... 'tis life!

Had him dominated and lost to a 4 outer but at least I had him covered.

In future I would probably call and as suggested before and push all-in when I'm first to enter the pot only.
