1 : fold preflop. AJo UTG is not a good hand in a SnG
2 : push or fold, mostly fold in a 3.4 I suppose as he calls too much
3. You could fold the flop but ok
4. nh

Fold hand number hand preflop. You need a better position/shorter board to raise AJ.

Hand 2 is read dependent, but usually it looks okay.

Hand 3 I sometimes bet out on the flop. When you didn't, I may just fold on the flop unless I got good implied odds to continue.

I may bet out on the flop in hand 4, but as it was played out, folding looks fine
