Default 12xBB M of 6 is hijack, how would you play these hands?

If more than one alternative, list. If not push or fold, what is plan for a raise or reraise. Assume all players to act have you covered. Position is one before CO. I posted a particular hand before, but I thought it would be interesting to consider what to do with a range of hands.

1. AA 2. QQ 3. TT 4. 88 5. 22 6. AKo 7. AQo 8. KQs 9. ATo 10. JTs 11. 87s 12. 54s 13. A4s 14. QJo

You've got no room at all to play with an M of 6. A raise for (assumingly) 1/4 your stack and then folding is pretty bad, and if one of the blinds calls, they can make a go and go on you giving you a very difficult call if you miss with a hand like KQs.

1-10: Push
11: If you have a tight image or a tight table, push, if not it's close
12: Dump unless it's a tight table and no LAGtard stacks that like to call all-ins behind you
13/14: Push

I mentioned my opinion in the other post in which Seke2 backed up my comments suggesting that it would work better with thinking players behind you. With non-thinking players, it is probably quite bad.

Assuming thinking players, I say raise to 2.5xBB with all of them. Against non-thinking players, I'd shove them all except for 54s...which I would fold.

a lot of these depend on how much I've been shoving lately and reads on those to act after. without reads and not having shoved i 3x hands 1-9 most of the time, pushing 30% of the time and 3-betting with AA, QQ, TT, 88, AK and, maybe too often AQo. the other 5 hands I 3x about 20% of the time, fold to a reraise w 9xBB left and open fold the other 80%. thoughts?>

edit: I'm much more likely to open shove the first 9 if i have been shoving lately but it's something i've been thinking about lately and I'm wondering if I'm losing value by open shoving strong hands with ~12bb

If you have a fairly tight image I like a shove with everything but 54s and A4s but this is an easy hand to just stove the ranges with for a better response

I generally open push 88, 22, AQo, KQs, and ATo. Raise/call 2-2.5xBB or limp AA and QQ. Raise/call 2.5-3xBB or push TT and AKo. Push or limp JTs. Raise/fold 2-2.5xBB, limp, or fold 87s, 54s, A4s, and QJo.
