Help a Newbie with some Hands....

[pfapfap]

Hiya, I've been studying a bit of tournament play, but can't seem to reliably cash. A couple of weeks ago I turned a $6 satellite into $1200, so now I have some flexibility and the bankroll to try more "good" play rather than "please I hope I cash" play, and have moved from 2-table S&Gs to mostly 90-player doublestack S&Gs (all Full Tilt). Anyway, I'd like some feedback on some typical situations for me, four hands taken from various tournaments. Obviously results can be inferred, but try to think past that.

Thanks in advance for any feedback and advice!
