Dealt to Hero [Qs Ah]
jossman12: folds
Hero: raises 1540 to 1690 and is all-in <-- I know this looks pretty standard, but I'm questioning how profitable this is in a $16.00. We have more than 10 BB's, we're in EP, SNG Wiz tells me to fold this every single time, telling me to shove TT+, AK. The thing is, I don't know if the blinds we pick up are worth it the times we run into AK, QQ+. Any input appreciated.

Hero: raises 3583 to 3783 and is all-in <-- This one's just a check up to make sure I'm big stacking aggreessively. SB is sitting out, so this is effectively a button shove. Nice?

*** FLOP *** [6s Ac Ah]
Hero: bets 180 <-- I figure there's a low chance he's got an Ace, firing seems right.
jossman12: calls 180
*** TURN *** [6s Ac Ah] [4h]
Hero: checks
jossman12: bets 270
Hero: folds <-- I really wanted to call, just because this felt like a float. Is my line too weak/passive?

Hand 4
[5s 4c] BU (M=2.72; f+f+f+F) <-- Posting this one to keep myself accountable. I've got 1200, blinds 100/200/25, blinds are tight with 10 BB stacks. This is an easy ATC spot, right? I seem to miss value here a lot cause I can't bring myself to push my rubbish.

Hand 5
[As 6s] CO (M=5.33; f+f+f+F) <-- Same tournament as hand 4, I've got 1600, blinds are 100/200 no ante, BSB all reasonably tight, but BB has 820 after posting. Another missed spot?

[b]

Hand 1 I just make it 400, call shove pre, shove most flops.

Hand 2 shove

Hand 3 I would check the flop and probably only fold to 3 barrels. The only reason to bet the flop is that you are confident he won't call without an ace but you are worried he'll bluff you out later if you check (or you think he'll never bluff).

As played it's really close, I might call. It's a funny board because you would probably check an ace here. That's another reason I check flop because if he bets the flop he'll check behind on the turn a lot fearing the tarp.

4 & 5 I would shove one (if you shove 4 I would fold 5). But you say first there are antes then no ante. With no ante I probably just fold both.

dry flops with TP+. Also things change if we get 2 calls.
