Default NLTRN Couple of boring/Standard(??) ones...

This was the first hand of the SnG. It seems a lot of ppl like to reraise the first hand (Sometimes all in), given that, should I call/fold/reraise? This is the default order I generally choose.

Hero (t1500)
BB (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A, 9.
Hero raises to t60</font>, BB raises to t160</font>, Hero??

Opponent (Below) seems nitty/bad. I think the 3bet signifies a lot of strength (First time it's happened), even so, does that justify a call with shortened stacks? The flop check was confusing and in my mind signified a strong hand or 99+ Which wasn't folding, so I toook the free card, turn play is meh. Basically, I'm confused when dealing with min 3 bets, they offer such good odds to continue, but I'm not hitting a flop hard enough to continue most of the time, just fold usually? Especially with junkier hands, ie; T,4...

BB (t1170)
Hero (t1830)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4, T.
Hero raises to t60</font>, BB raises to t100</font>, Hero calls t40.

Flop: (t200) 5, K, 8 (2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t200) K (2 players)</font>
]BB bets t100</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t200

Opponent is nitty/bad, but seems to have opened up a bit as blinds increased. Is 2,2+ still a shove with these stacks? Just fold pre? Call and play OOP? I'm really bad at the 25/50 level FWIW...

Bump.

Annoying, probably standard spots like the ones below are prolly my biggest leaks. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Fold hand 1, you're in position but A9 is crushed by a large part of his 3-bet range.

Hand 2, I like betting about 100-120 on the flop, both to find out where you are and because your opponent will likely check turn if he calls, giving you two chances to draw to your flush. As played folding is fine.

Hand 3 is good.

With reads you've given I think I agree with Steve here.

I might like a fold in hand 2 better against certain players rather than betting the flop, but it's very player dependent and I wouldn't be certain without seeing a HH as to which I would do there.
