Is this the worst play ever by me (hero)?  A few things to bear in mind -

- I'm the shortstack here at a relatively late stage of the Sit & Go and, though it's a min bet each time, it actually accumulates to = nearly half my original stack
- How do you rate the flat call to the min-raise preflop?
- Villain is an EXTREMELY strange player, a calling station who has a tendency to lead out post flop with pot sized bets
- Villain has occasionally been caught playing big hands overly slowly

im folding pre, im guessing you could shove if you think his min bet it just trying to take ure bb as cheaply as possible, usually not though, but as you said he is a calling station this would be a silly shove. i shoving quite ligh on the sb and dealer button instead. so basically im folding here pre

Fold pre flop - 10 x BB in a SNG equals push or fold time for me.

Totally agree with this and is one of the 2 or 3 simple rules to be comptent in sngs.

Post flop is fine, you are rarely good by the river but you don't have to be to make the call good.

nah he might fold a pair smaller than the king he could call with a club (ok your not in great shape against the flush draw and 2 overs to your pair its nearly a coin flip

yeah he is a calling station but even calling stations fold now and then

Villain's a calling station!? Hero calls pre,flop,turn and river!? LOL - You've also said he likes to play big hands slowly, which could be happening here with his sweetening bets.

For me it's a fold pre but if I'm playing it I'd rather push pre-flop (does a stop n go work here?). I don't really like calling off half my chips with bottom pair no kicker when I'm already short and no idea of where I am in the hand. He could have a medium pocket here a lot.

Trust your gut and if it feels right chuck it all in, if not run away.
