Don't "try" to fold this crap, just DO it!  Also, read up on the times that you actually flop a flush or a flush draw, it's not that often - plus a flush or FD sticks out like dog's balls so you often won't get paid unless somebody else flopped a lower flush or flush draw (which is even less likely).

Um, no. Actually this is even worse than hand 1 because blinds have gone up, decreasing your implied odds. There's also the risk that you lose a lot of chips before finding out you're beat on an A high flop.

Post the exact hand with the stacks and I'll run it through SNG Wiz. I'm not sure you actually want a call here with KT.

Yes, you're getting great pot odds but the limp is like 6% of your stack and since you're squarely in push/fold territory you want to save your chips for a pushing spot. Plus, as you saw, you could lose a lot of chips on a Q or T high flop if opp limped a better Q/T hand.
On the flop, you are vulnerable to overcards and the flop is very drawy, which is why I would bet full pot. The thing is, you WANT opps to call with their draws since unless they have a monster combo draw (like OESFD or FD + overcards etc.) they are not getting the right price to call a pot sized bet. If you WANT them to call, then give them a chance to make a mistake by betting a bit less rather than blowing them out of the pot.

Sounds like a case of FPS to me, for which there isn't a lot of room at the $6.50s with blinds so large.

If opp is a good player, he won't call you light here meaning that you steal the 700 in dead chips most of the time. Plus if he calls you, the worst you'll often be is a 40/60 dog.

Meh, could go either way. Pushing certainly puts the tough decision on opp, but as I said, raising is OK too.

HU against a better player, $6.50

K
BU (M = 7.28; f+f+F) (between 5 and 6) - could be a shove depending on stack sizes and reads on the blinds, but if it is a shove it'd be a pretty marginal one
