2.5BB is good ? And what about limping ?

Call the shove ?

I'm not mad about it tbh. I fold pre flop, i just think 33 is too weak to raise and as the blinds are as they are it is not porfitable for set value. I fold to reraise, you are either way behind or racing at best and still have plenty of chips. I like the fold pre the more i think about it, you might as well have been stealing with 72o. Too early to shove to late to limp, and i don't want to tangled with desperate shorties with 33.

[Shortcorner]

Trickier

This is closer to a push fold decision but is still a fold, opponents would have to be incredibley tight for push to be profitable. If they all call with just top 9% it is -EV.

Again i fold. But i might be wrong on this. SPP don't take much heat.

I like a fold in this spot.

I typically agree with Shortcorner but I would raise with 33 as you did trying to steal IF I knew that the others were playing tight and going into their shell.

It's not a real hand, it's a stealing hand. SB pushes so I would go in with him. Win and you win his 860 AND boot him out!

If he raised with and was not goign all in I would fold.

[RexWoo]

I fold preflop in both hand. The second is closer to a push imo because you're CO.
