Can someone please help, HP issue

Hello guys, i have a little problem with my HP mesh, i just can't make it smooth.
Mesh one is basically what i want expect of the interrupted roundness because of the two edges going up.
Mesh two would be also ok expect of the two pinches near the corners.

Any help how i should draw the support lines to get a clean HP mesh?

Add more sides to the cylinder.

More geometry is usually the answer you seek when it comes to cylinders

More sides doesn't help, I'm ending up with the same issue like on sample nr. 1

Have a look through this thread, it has numerous examples like that. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56014

I think you're just going to have to use enough sides on your cylinder so that you don't need any vertical support loops.
