A few hands from a $1.2 SNG

Okay, this is my first HH post so if I am doing this wrong just tell me. I have a few hands from one game that I’d like people to have a look at and tell me what they think.

This is the first one, 7th hand of the game, I think I played this well but I’d like to see what people have to say.

This hand I folded because the big stack was being aggressive and would have had position on me at the flop. Correct decision or should I have called and then maybe put it down on the flop if nothing hit?

I limped in on this hand from the button and I was unclear as to what to do throughout, I certainly would not have called a raise on the flop so it is my play on the turn and the river that I am wondering about. Did I play this okay?

Thanks in advance for any advice and if you think this post is too long please tell me

Hand:1 raise less preflop maybe 180ish, your raise is going to leave awkward stacksizes when you miss and decide to cbet.

Hand 2: seems fine, if you had a read that he would call light, you could 3 bet shove.

hand 3: tight aggressive or loose aggressive? fold seems fine against a tagg, could proabably shove vs a lagg.

hand 4: raise more on turn

Hey Fraser, you are working hard at this. Good for you. I will let you know what I think but remember I am learning also and better help is on the way.

Hand 1: aggression is good with this hand pre but 10bb is maybe a bit much. If we are able to ISO we want to be able to c-bet a missed flop without it costing us most of our stack. I use this rule when sizing my preflop bets: 3.5x BB + 1 BB for each caller. I think 150 to 180 pre would have been my bet.
As played: I think very good you got ISO, and I like ur post flop bet.

Hand 2: Villain is probably raising wide on account of stack size. I jam his 3 bet all day long. The only Hands I am worried about here are AA and KK. If he wakes up with or ends up with a better hand I just fire up another one knowing I made the right move.

Hand 3: I am doing the same. No sense playing AQo out of pos looking at a 5+xbb raise

Hand 4: I think this was well played. There may be a case for extracting max chips but I sure don't want villain to see another card unless he pays dearly for it. There are a lot of cards left in that deck that will spoil our party.

This dam phone, takes all day to respond. Fulksy responded while I was trying to get my fat fingers to press the right buttons.
Anyhow, glad to see I am getting closer online with those that have already been there. I did miss the turn bet hand 4. I also believe psb is much better in this situation.
