$5-45 on FTP. A few hands
 
Ok I started playing these after being crap at everything else I played and surprise surprise I started losing so now am trying to find where I'm going wrong so I'd like some advice on some hands.

1. Does this look OK? I really hate calling raises preflop early as it always feels like spew and the raise here can be anything. So from position I generally 3-bet TT+ and AQs+ and maybe others if I've seen villain raise stupidly before.
This is FIRST hand by the way

Full Tilt Poker Game #3872274173: $5 + $0.50 Sit & Go (29478261), Table 1 - 15/30 - No Limit Hold'em - 11:59:04 ET - 2007/10/16
Donkey Snaps posts the small blind of 15
jpereira posts the big blind of 30

2. Well I got all in preflop with AK v KT and lost so had 455 chips, should any of these been pushes. The blinds were 40/20 for all the situations below.

67s in the BB after a middle position raise
7To in the SB folded to me
J6o on the button after a raise by the cutoff
29o in CO after a call by the guy acting before me
28s in middle position no action
56o UTG+1 no action
43o UTG
4Qo early no action

1) You're betting 1/4 of your stack and 1/2 the pot on a c-bet. It's a little spewy for me, that's kinda risky since if there's any chance villain hit the flop he rr's you ai.

2) 3 questions - how much were the raises, how many people were left, and what's your table image?

Hand 1 looks ok . . . like rachkane said, risky but it worked out.

Of the short stack hands, only 7To I think is a definite push; all the others are very read-dependent due to the very low showdown values. Q4o early is just too risky with no reads; with this small a stack, anyone who wakes up with even a small pair might call you.

Ok well the raises were all about 3 big blinds if i remember correctly and first hand was above then 7th hand was the AK all in preflop loss. and they were the two hands i played. 6 minute levels so only ten minutes in. Also I didnt push the Q4o I got QQ the next hand and lost to AJ but I never know how to play with under 10 big blinds early on.

I'd flatcall pre in hand #1.
None of the hands listed below that are even close to a shove.

Hand 1 is interesting. I've moved on to liking coldcalling in these sort've situations. {Stack sizes 1500 right?}. Raise/folding doesn't really seem great, folds out hands you don't want to fold like KQ/AJ-, & lets him 4-bet a range that's strong enough you should fold but contains hands like JJ/TT you'd have been happy to see a flop with. And getting squeezed really isn't much of a worry here.
Flop is also interesting. Pot ~600, Stacks ~1200, gutshot, backdoor flush draw, overcard, seems like a spot that (a) You're getting CRAIed a decent amount and (b) getting CRAIed is a disaster, so I check behind.
The rest of the hands are all pretty much easy folds. With a read T7o might be pushable but that's about it & I default to not shoving there.

Hand 1 I'm just flatting AQ from the button there.

I'd tilt shove the T7o hand after losing to some moron with KT 2 hands before. Actually I'd be really surprised if shoving there is incorrect.
