I'm only going by "impressions" from last week's episode. I didn't see anything in those scenes with Sawyer and Locke that made it seem like he's playing along. No pauses. No second looks behind Locke's back. On the contrary,, there was that scene where Locke saved Sawyer when that ladder collapsed to gain Sawyer's trust.
Sawyer has only cared about his own interests. He opened up once to truly fall in love and she was taken away. He wants off this hell hole of an island. He knows it's possible. Locke can help him. That's my impressions.
What about when he pointed the gun at UnLocke's head as he related the "Of Mice and Men" story? Also remember when he was talking with Richard and then denied that he was talking with anyone, when UnLocke came back. I agree that Sawyer is looking out for Sawyer, but I don't think he has gone all evil, he is just playing along for his own best interest, getting off the island. Also remember that Sawyer could see young Jacob and that he new that UnLocke wasn't Locke, even before Smokey told him he wasn't Locke.
