So ive started grinding the 0.5$ 45 and 90 man turbos at pokerstars, and will do this until my BR reaches 100~200$ I guess and then move up to 1$ 90turbo/180 hyper, and later on 2.5$ 180 turbo.
Inputs on what to play\avoid when moving up is welcome, but my main question is , I imagine in the 0.5s especially, the players are going to be calling off a lot looser\I will be having less fold equity than i might come to expect at higher stakes. I will try to use whatever HUD\reads I have obviously, but does anyone with experience at playing at these ultramicro how much more loose i can expect other people to call shoves\how much tighter I Should be against a 'random' target?
Looking at the average vpip/PFR i have gathered after 50 tournaments its 23.7/10.4, changing the blinds up to 100+, it changes to 21.1/11.1. Feel like currently I am shoving a bit too lightly. Random hand history example, if people are folding more tightly i guess this is an easy shove, but I guess I should be more proned to folding in places where I against tigher opponents could be shoving ATC profitably?

Hero?
Opponent calling ranges when hero pushes:
BTN (??), SB (??), BB (??)
On a similar note, a bit conflicted with what to do early with big hands (AK/JJ/AQ specifically I Guess) where other people seem super ready to get it all in. I mean obviously it will happen that you run into AA/KK/QQ, but then again you also see people randomly getting it in with Q7o or whatever a lot more often than I imagine you do at the earlier stakes. I guess it might be +EV to get it in with something like AK preflop even if the blinds are small, but might be even more +EV to just stay in the tourney and not risk flips assuming you are a better player than most other people in the field?
