The converter seems to mess up the river, which is why I have had to paste it in like I have, hope it is still understandable. Remmeberm this is FLO8 in a Sit and Go format ($10+1 level) Now on to the hands...

Should I raise this preflop? Normally I don't raise out of the SB but that's in PL where position is much more important. How about the post flop play?

Very nice hand, definetely worth a raise because of both good high and low potential preflop, right? I'm really passive after the flop because I haven't got any high potential at all? Should I be raising at any point or just call down with the nut low? I figured I wanted as many overcallers as possible. Is it just be or does he mess up betting his trips that hard?

I don't raise preflop because of bad position and the poor high potential of my hand, right or wrong? Just call on that flop with my low draw, the turn gives me an OESD but with a paired board I figure I am only going for at most half the pot so once again I just call down.

reddneckin11 wins Lo (1150 chips) from the main pot with 7,4,3,2,A.
Now the table is shorthanded so I am loosening up, is this call too loose? Should I be raising the turn? I figured I might have the best hand because of the lack of action on the flop (people should bet a straight or set there) but I wasn't sure at all, since someone could have been holding TT and be afraid of the str8 or bigger set.

Shorthanded I figured I would play my overpair and nut low draw aggressively, but I chicken out on the river. Should I be raising for value there even without a real high hoping to get an overcall? If I get re-raised I might be getting quartered and lose the caller... is it worth the risk?
-------------------------------------------
I think I played a bit better today, the advice from last time has helped. I've played 15 SNGs total and have a ROI of 118% with 40% first place finishes... this has to be a fluke, right?
