The AT hand I would not have touched. With blinds that small in a sit n go with 4 players left, they can afford to fold a few rounds waiting to double up. And with you being the chip leader I know that a raise from you does not necessarily represent strengh as it may represent position and stack.
Stay away from mariginal hands and only bet the good ones. You have enough chips for heads up, let the blinds escalate and force the other guys into bad decisions.
now thats a good post
one thing I tend to think about if I am chipped up with 4 to go and its still early in the sng....
if I raise, can I stand a re-raise? if not, I am just leaking chips to my opponents and allowing them back into it
The time for stealing and position raising will come when the blinds are higher
