Default Day 2 of large event, play with 14-18 BBs

Hey guys, I was playing Day 2 of a 1,5k event, and entered with a shortish stack of 2820 (blinds 100/200). I am including all hands played at that level (60 min). I know it's a bit long, but I'm hoping some of you can take a few minutes and tell me if they see things that are horribly wrong. It will also give you a sense of the table and my image.

Thanks, and I appreciate your help in advance.

Hand 1

MP1, [AKo], I open-raise to 600. Guy in the CO (stack 3820) calls. Flop comes 9-9-5, 2 spades. I c-bet 700, he thinks for a minute or two and folds.

Hand 2 - Very next hand

UTG+2, AQo, I open-raise to 600. Same guy (now in HJ), moves in, we essentially have the same stack. I thought he looked strong from his demeanor, and that his range was pretty narrow and I folded. I know it's not a good idea to raise/fold with 18 BB or so. Should I not have raised at all? Am I just a big pussy?

Hand 3 - (three hands later)

In the BB. 3 limpers, SB completes. I have AQo. I move all in. UTG limper (big stack - 13,000ish) calls with A-10clubs. Fold comes 5-4-3-3-2 for a chop.

Hand 4 2 hands later

Button. UTG limps, UTG+2 min raises. Folded to me with 9-10s. I'm still about 15-16BBs, is this too shallow to see a flop? I folded.

Hand 5

MP2 - AKo. Open-raise to 600, folded around.

Hand 6

UTG+2 - Open-fold KJo

Hand 7

BB - 10-10. UTG+2 raises to 600, 2 callers (one loose, one tight with shortish stack), SB completes. What do I do? Do I squeeze here for my remaining stack (3200-3300)? I've been pretty active so may be called by two overs, and initial raiser could have overpair. I called figuring I have great set odds (5:1). Flop brings A and Q, I fold.

Hand 8

SB. 1 limper, I complete with 2h-6h (BB is very tight so I know he's checking 85% of the time here). Flops comes 5-7-8, one heard. I bet out 400. BB calls, limper folds. Turn is 2. I check, BB bets I fold

Hand 9

Button. UTG (big stack, loose, not particularly bright) limps, folded to me with KQ. I move in with my remaining 2100 or so. limper starts to gather his chips to call, but SB and BB shove as well and I know I'm screwed. limper calls as well. SB has As-Qs, BB has KK, and limper has QJo. I don't hit the miracle straight.

Hand 2 call
Hand 4 fold
Hand 7 easy ship
Hand 8 I like flop check w/stack sizes
hand 9 bad ship you have 10.5 bb's w/o antes. Some like this ship but at laying over 4-1 I think we're a liiiitle too deep to ship here.

Hand 1: shove pre
Hand 2: call
Hand 3: standard
Hand 4: fold; if you have another 4-5bb's I probably push
Hand 5: standard
Hand 6: think its correct, not sure of your stack; if you have 8-10bbs, its a push
Hand 7: push; squeezes work really well live, and you are probably flipping with an overlay... and thats if you get called.
Hand 8: Id fold pre... you dont have enough chips to speculate, and you basically have to get it in if you connect, which seems marginal. As played, I like c/r ai better than leading.
Hand 9: standard, can't fold, and hope donkey doubles you up.

2- This is close. You had 2900 and raised to 600 in 3rd position and the guy pushed. Your position indicates to fold, but your stack size is perfect for a resteal. If you haven't seen this guy reraise, I might fold.

3- Push

4- Fold.

7- Good squeeze.

8- Push the turn with pair and OESD. There is a lot in the pot and live players like to fold.

9- If limper is often limping junk, then this is a marginally good push.

1. fine, although its kinda ghey if u get raised, live c bettign will always be profitable. It all depends on his p/f range cusi think its a spot where occasionally it sucks but u have to c/f.
2. it is close, id caqll just because of the hand be4 he may hold soem kind of subconcious grudge vrs u.
3. fine, good
4. e z fold
5. srsly at these levels just open to 500 w/ a 1 or so bb
staCK
6. std
7. reship all in
8.i hate this whole thing, fold preflop. as played probably c/r all in on the flop. once u put ou t a flop bet and showed strength ju have to go all in on the turn imo, u have enough equity, plus he might fold.
9. id play the same and go all in, ul result

Hand 2 - This is a call for me
Hand 4 - fold
Hand 7 - I think you butchered this. This is an absolute shove. I don't really consider this a squeeze, because you have an actual hand.
Hand 9 - Fine, I play it the same way. The blinds just happen to wake up with big hands.

The mistakes for me are hand 2 and a Big mistake on Hand 7. I think that was your critical error. You only have to be concerned about the intial raiser really. He might have a bigger pair, but I he could have big cards. His range is wider than JJ+ IMO.

Only terrible hand I saw was the TT hand. Not pushing that is god awful. The rest seem reasonable enough, although I may disagree a bit with some of em.
