auto-push IMO

Thanks to this forum great advices, I've been doing ok in the $3.25/18man, but before moving up I feel I have some pretty newbie questions about the middle stages:
1) When do you turn Push or Fold mode on? I often get confused in the 75/150 lvl when I usually have 1,1~1,2k. Do you push KTo in the BU in this situation? What about QJo?
2) When you're analysing your session at wiz, do you accept the ranges proposed by the software or do you adjust them accordingly to each player?
3) Do you push A3o (or what is your range?) from UTG w/ 7~8 ppl if you have M=2~3?

You are either leveling or just uneducated about 180s variance but you're certainly good at this game

Stacks:
BTN Hero (149k)
SB jaxstein181 (73k)
BB OMGCrackedACES (48k)

Blinds: 2.5k/5k Ante 600

Pre-Flop: (9.3k, 3 players) Hero is BTN Q K
Hero raises to 10k, jaxstein181 calls 7.5k, OMGCrackedACES goes all-in 47k, Hero ?

$12+$1 90man KO SnG on Full Tilt. SB player was a donk. BB grinds out these 90man's... I guess he was as solid as it gets on these stakes.

I had been min-raising my BU 4-5 times and they folded everytime. This time however the fish flat calls en de reg squeezes AI... easy reshove for me?
I mean my image wasn't too tight at that time and for him it's such a great spot to squeeze with a pretty wide range including pretty much any pocket pair, any Ax hand... a range my hand is only a slight underdog against and I'm getting about 2:1 + with my stack it's not a huge disaster if the SB decides to come along for the ride anyway.

i'd probably just jam here. guess you can make it like 3x and fold if bb shoves but you have to get it in pretty much 100% post if co flats.

Villain leading for full pot on the flop is usually means he's afraid of the FD rather than he has the FD. I'd raise/call the river with confidence.

You can also raise more on the flop. If you only called his bet, the pot would be 240 chips, so your 100 chip raise is less than half the pot.

Finally, I prefer raising pre to get more value out of your loose/passive opponents.

These two hands occurred in a row during a 90 man tournament. Call the first or shove the second? FWIW I stoved what I thought his likely range was in the first hand for shoving vs. KQs and got that I had around 40% equity but I needed 42% to call, though I may have made him too tight (55-AA, AT-AKo, A8-AKs, KQ).

BB should be calling a fairly massive range here but I don't know if that makes this closer to a call or a fold...think I lean towards a fold as we appear to be playing for 2nd and calling might be an ICM mistake.

shortstack is aggressive and a reg. I would shove close to ATC if I were him..?
