Default Couple of hands from 180 man

Hi! Please comment on these hands!
Stars 4/180
Hand 1. In the previous level Villian pushed three times when folded to him in MP3, CO and BTN being pretty deep like 35-40BB. He made this move two or more times afterwards. Now we are at 35/180. Let this one go for a better times?

MP1 (t5265)
Hero (t7480)
MP3 (t3710)
CO (t4756)
Button (t7510)
SB (t8100)
BB (t7265)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Hand 2. The CO raiser have been moved to our table one hand before, but I played with him at my previous table and seen him making preflop minraises and folding on the flop. BB is very tight and aggressive, but I invested so much in this resteal, can I really fold? Now we are playing the last three tables.

Hand 3. Stars 180 sitngo, 14/180 left. Currently I'm the second stack. Should I risk and play this hand aggressively (like going allin?), or should I just call and see the flop and maintain my stack? Never seen Villian making a steal in EP for the whole hour I've been playing with him, but he made a lot of resteals.

Hand 1 is pretty read dependent...based on what you said I'd call.

Hand 2 make your reraise less or just shove to begin with. Obviously call, you're getting a zillion to one.

Hand 3, umm, CO isn't EP, and 99 almost certainly crushes his opening range from there, push.

Hand 3 is a very easy reshove, it's a very nice spot to resteal AI and I'm doing it with much weaker hands than 99, Hand 2 I'd just stick it in in the first place so I couldn't accidentally fold here getting a zillion:1.
Hand 1 is closer, it's a fold readless, as it is might be a "have to be there" sort've thing to judge his range, I like a call based on the given info

Hand 1: If he's been open pushing 30BBs then this is a call.

Hand 2: Call, you can't fold getting like 402:1

Hand 3: Jam.

Thanks for responses guys, I played it like you advice except for hand No 1. I folded AQ because it was very close to the bubble and losing the hand would leave with only like 10BB, which I hate. Weak?
