$10 SNGs

I played three of them, went out in fourth, fifth, and seventh place. Here is what happened.

1. Hand 4, AJ in MP, just call. Flop JTx, EP bets 100 (level 10/20). I raise to 220, he goes all-in. I simply cannot believe that I am beaten here (if I am, why does he go all-in?) so I call, not liking it much though. He shows Q6d!
Stack 2500, level 75/150, I reraise an all-in bet of a stack of 361 with KQ and go all-in myself. I lose to A9. I had to call 361 into a pot of 586, so it was OK that he was a slight favorite (as I expected).
Stack 2050, level 75/150, raise to 450 with KTo, get called. C-bet gets reraised to 3000! I fold. I had noticed that the BB (player X) was very aggressive, which is why I raised to 450 and not just to 300 as I might have otherwise. After the call, I think the c-bet is a mistake, as it puts me down to 1375. If I wanted to do anything but check-fold, I should go all-in.
With 4 players left, I get lucky when my all-in bet as SB (stack 1450, level 100/200) gets called by 66 (X!) and I catch a 9 on the flop.
However, two hands later I go all-in with 88 as BB after there were two callers. X calls with AK and wins the race. I actually have a few chips left after this pot and win the next hand with J7 (!), but then lose with 66 to K8s (X), who gets a flush on the river.

2. Stack down to 860, level 25/50, UTG minraises to 100. I raise to 300 with QQ, the blinds fold and he has to call 200 into a pot of 475. He does this with KTo... and the flop is QJ9. He goes all-in and I call. What can I say?

3. KQo in EP, level 50/100, stack 1300. Loose player before me minraises. I call as does the BB. Flop Kxx, two small spades. He bets 300. I make a crucial mistake in raising only to 600, giving him a forced call. Of course he completes his nut flush on the turn.

This last game was the first time that I clearly had the idea that the players were better than at the $5 level. People got eliminated only slowly (7 left after 36 games). Still, there were many minraises in the early stages, and pots with 5-6 people, followed by minbets on following rounds... All not terribly impressive.
