Default PS 6.50s Unsure about AQ and QJ in these spots

Ok this is the QJ hand. Stack is getting short, blinds are getting high - SNGWiz tells me this is a fold though, but only marginally. The big stacks on my left are fairly tight and I put them on ~15% calling, the BB is bit more loose and I gave him 25%. Do I have any FE with my stack? Do you push?

BB (t2065)
UTG (t2995)
Hero (t925)

SB (t3550)

2. This is the AQ hand. SNGwiz tells me this is a fold and I should only push AK, TT+. But folding seems to nitty. I raised 3x planning to fold to a push from a few tight players I had noted and call a push from a looser player. Is this ok ? Or should I just push or fold (and if so which)?

I fold both although AQ is debatable.

If you do raise and plan on folding to push, raise 2.5bb to 250.

I push hand 1, we've got 6xbb and with the blinds about to hit us, i'm felting this hoping to double and get back into it.

AQ, I would raise to 250 and fold to a RR

I push hand 1. And in the 6,5$ you still have enough FE. I've seen much shorter stacks with unbelievable FE.
Hand 2 I raise to 250 as holy32 said.

Basically what everyone else is saying here. Push hand 1, raise hand 2 to 2.5x and fold to a push from most players.

Me too, push hand 1 with 6 bbs, and in hand 2 raise t250 and fold to RR.

Hand 1: agreed - shove
Hand 2: I like 250 because you'll want to fold to RR from many villains, but I'm definitely calling certain villians if they have the right stats. I'd need a strong read to make a call.
