Default $6 stars turbo - 2 bubble hands

I am pretty bad at bubble play, so i posted these 2 hands to hopefully get some feedback.

This first hand my problem is i have a good hand 4 handed, but there's 3 stacks that can break me and 1 smaller stack. If i raise any push will be giving me great odds to call, and a lot of ppl will just push me with any 2 decent cards hoping i'll fold, so i don't want to raise/fold. I had the same situation in another tourney where i had AJs on the button at 100/200 with like a 5k stack, bb was short stacked. I pushed and got called by the 2500 stack sb with AK and lost. This one is a push though right?

BB (t3251)

Here is another hand, but my stack is smaller. My problem is the blinds are large and i'm likely ahead of his range, but I keep hearing i shouldn't be calling too much on the bubble. Is there any way i fold this? And given that this guy was an average player, what do you think is the minimum i need here to call.

The first is a good push.

I fold the second against most ppl with 6 BBs.

push the first hand, 700 in the pot its +EV too push.

The next hand is close it depends on his pushing range. IF you think hess in the 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs range its +0.7% if hes a lil bit tighter like 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+ its -1.9%. I assume its something in the middle normaly, and i normaly call. Not huge +EV doh. so you might just fold or call, both decicions are reasonable plays

First one is easy call. You run into AK sometimes, it happens, but you'll consistently lose if you fold AJ here for fear that there are stacks that can bust you.

Second I would call but previous poster shows why it depends on your read of the CO and what he's pushing with.
