you aren't shortstacked in any of these hands.

With 10+ BB's in a SNG you're hardly shortstacked

1. Fold
2. Push
3. Read dependent if tight easy push.

Really?? You said yourself he isn't exactly shortstacked...
I think maybe a standard raise is good if BB is weak.

Could be a leak in my game but adding $300 in chips at this stage can be an advantage. Again its based on a tight read you might be right about standard raise but by habit at the 100/200 blind levels I'm almost done playing postflop poker. It's also out of the SB. Anywhere else this hand is an autofold for me.

I raise A4o on the button when folded to me, no reads when effective stacks are 12bb+. Is this a leak?

It just depends how often you get called. What flops are you going to like if you do get called? You raise 3BB here and flop nothing. Now you're down to 9BB

Now what?

For me it's a leak because I can pushbot better than I can play postflop poker. FWIW I think the toughest part of SNG's is playing with ~12 BB's and deciding when to transition into Pushbot stage and when to play actual poker

Absolutely. I'd rather just fold such a marginal spot.

This is enlightening. This may be a major leak of mine. I never really considered it, but far too often I make a "steal" raise with a marginal hand (with a 12bb stack for example) that leaves me with virtually no post-flop options.
