Please review another $1.20 tournament

Thanks to fulksy for reviewing the last two tourneys I posted. Very helpful. Here's the next one ($1.20 STT SnG again). You'll notice I quit the min-raise thing.

$1.10 Buy In

My thoughts/questions:

#7: awkward hand. Was trying to steal blinds but ended up with a nice nut flush draw that ended up costing me 900 chips. Should I have backed out earlier with 7 players left or did I play this correctly?

By hand #9 I had let the blinds (and, ah, hand #7, see above) eat me down to M=4. Should I have risked any of the hands I folded? Also the chunk between #5 and #6.

#15: should I have skipped the weak blind steal attempt with Q3 or was this ok? Assuming my fold was correct, even though the all in player was pretty loose?

Thanks!

hand 1: Just fold, this is a hand where you usually either win a small pot or loose a big one, soooted i don't mind completing with two limpers.

Hand 2: really shouldn't shove on flop, bet about 3/4 pot as you want to get value from your set, but nice outcome this is why you want to value bet more and bluff less.

Hand 3: i just shove, after he goes all in, most likely anyone calling the 270 is calling your shove, i like your play against better players who will fold all worse but against bad players i just shove

hand 4: definitely raise more, general rule make it 3XBB + 1BB for every limper so around ~150 that way calling flop is easy.

between 4-5: Raise 99 in CO

Hand 7: make it ~400 pre, try to get out of the habit of min raising. flop fine, turn meh i guess he's second chip leader so might have good implied odds, but not sure if you would get payed if 4th club comes.

hand 10: Just shove raising pot commits you anyways.

hand 13: Just shove

hand 15: your in push/fold mode, don't standard raise

overall you played way way better, good job
