Assuming you are readless or against unknowns what do you do in these spots. It seems like shoving sucks, calling sucks and folding sucks what do you do in these spots?
Edit: Hand 1 I'm talking about the first decision not the second.

[Ditch Digger]

Hand 1: I shove. You are ahead of a MP2 range and playing TT postflop sucks.

Hand 2: I'd call. With bigger effective stacks there's enough room for us to call and possibly call a cbet on the flop.

Hand 3: Fold. AQ sucks OOP and if we flop something we will either get just a cbet or get stacked.

[Pudge714]

Also I hate range questions, but since these ranges are fairly narrow can people post ranges?
Ditch Digger for Hand 1 I assume you think TT+ AK.
Hand 2 JJ+ AK for shoving/raising(AA/KK)?
Hand 3 TT+ AK?

[kbar13]

Hand 1: I think I play it the same way

Hand 2: I call here, and play post-flop poker

Hand 3: I think I play the same way. You aren't really deep enough to raise preflop, but I would want something stronger to push.

[DaN_05]

Hand #1 I'd probably do the same TBH.

Hand #2 I'd call with your stack, I don't like shoving 99 here at all.

Hand #3 At the lower buy-ins I'd do the same, but higher up you go I prefer a fold PF I s'pose.

[Paul B.]

Hand 1 shove, hand 2 reraise small (30bb deep), hand 3 fold.

[AMT]

in hand 1, i think calling is ok but id prefer a shove...as played, good fold.

in hand 2 its basically the opposite. while shoving isnt horrible (this is a play im much more prone to making in a MTT midgame) id prefer to call.

in hand 3 i think you played it fine.

[Pudge714]

Looking back at Hand 1 I think villain was a semiregular.
What's frustrating about the hand is I know he will call me perfectly.

[bigt439]

meh i think i shove em all.
