I had a pretty good session yesterday played about 600 hands at fullring and won 40 bucks. I think i played fairly well besides a few hands i played like a complete idoit, but overall i am happy with my play. I also played a 45 man sit n go finished in 8th. Which was disappointing since i was second in chips with 13 people left. I ended up shoving on the button with 10bb and both the blinds woke up with a hand. Looking back on it i think i should have folded since there were 3 very short stacks. But i wanted to win and need to get some chips and i was hoping to pick up the blinds. I am almost back to even this month after having a downswing at 6 max. I am only down 15 bucks which is not bad since i was down about 8 buyins earlier last week.

This hand i played like a complete idoit, and the worse part is i know it. But i still played it like this.
Hand 2: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1277142
This hand is really weird i raised to get the shortstack all in. Then he called out of the big blind i thought his range was like 77+, ak.
There is one other hand i had a question on. But i can not find the hand history right now. So i will post it later.

1) Raise preflop and you don't have to worry about random schmucks with a 4.
2) How about sticking a bet out on the flop to see what's what? He may assume you have a K.
Hand 1: I probably check-call the river here. Against some players I might bet it if I know they're calling stations who will call down with any K. I think flop and turn are fine.
Hand 2: I probably still C-bet this flop. He might have cold-called with a pair lower than a K which he'll probably just give up. If he calls your flop bet you can shutdown.
Hand 1: Raise for value preflop. As played, I'm OK with flop and turn. Given the chat comment and how villain played the hand, I prefer to bet the river than check, as it seems to me he could definitely call you down with a worse king or even a PP. What to do when he raises? I think it's not terrible to call, but I would prefer to fold. But I think you're getting the monies more when you bet here than calling his bet, at least without a read.
Hand 2: The protected pot makes the flop a little strange, but the all-in guy's range to push preflop could be pretty wide, and I think there's an OK chance you're ahead. So, I would c-bet as rasputin and ken have already mentioned. That would be me last money in unimproved.
Hand 1: i bet the river. if i call the raise i either tell myself "it was for information", wonder "what did i think i was beating there?"
Hand 2: that's a weird one. almost seems like you drove the hand with 8's. if you limp, i'd imagine that clem would too.
flop comes, two overcards land, UTG bets out with his QQ to see where he is, you fold, it's done.
having the UTG come back over me all-in PF is bothersome as well, and even though he's short stacked, 8's isn't ahead of a lot, even though it may not be behind a good portion of his range.
considering clem5 is along for the ride, i don't blame you for shutting down.
if i'm reading this right, the guy who wins is already all-in, so the flop choices are to c-bet, and if clem folds you win $0. if he calls, you've just given him chips.
if you check/fold, you win $0.
a smaller pfRaise might work as well, say $2/$2.25. the when UTG comes over, you can lay it down, considering it's a multiway against short stacks with a hand that really shows it's value when you hit your set in this circumstance, and their stacks don't hold enough riches to pursue.
