hey guys, just getting back into grinding sngs, and taking my first shot at the non-turbo 180's. I'd appreciate any feedback I can get on the following hands.

Call, reship to iso, or is it too early in tourney to be putting 3rd of stack at risk against utg all-in with players left to act behind.

no one that gives worthwhile responses will read 12 hands and respond to all of them at once...so please post 3 or less at a time.

hand 1 get it in, hand 2 raise to 150 pre and call the shove imo...i stopped reading after i saw the 3rd and scrolled down and saw there were 12

Okay, I just figured they were all rather short hands but I understand where your coming from. I'll split them into smaller posts, thanks for your response

OK I'm gonna do the first three for you
1) def raise get it in
2) depends on stats/reads but I probably leans towards calling against a random since its such a big over shove
3) fold turn

1. shove

2. Dont open 4x. Call the shove.

3. Fold pre. Flop is std. Fold turn.

4. Shove. You're getting better than 3 to 1 which is slightly +EV against everything but AA sets and two pair.

5. Shove

6. Pre is std. Bet/folding flop is fine.

7. Given the odds and your position limp/folding is fine as long as you are a decent postflop player.

8. Call re-eval turn

9. yes

10.At a six-handed table I like 3betting 2.75k and shoving any flop.

11. shove

12. shove
