You didn't say what ante was, assuming it's zero or insignificant..

Hand 1 easy fold.

Hand 2 borderline, depends if you got a read on him, what he does when he's short, how aggressive etc.

Hands 3&4 easy shove, 3 you aren't dominated if you're called, 4 he's put in some 'dead money' for you to claim and you might be OK enough of the time if you're called.

Hand 5 shoving is a leak.. you're BTN next hand and got a few free hands to shove with and claim both SB+BB, instead of shoving now only claiming BB with the guy behind you maybe calling because he's got BB invested and feeling that you won't cripple his stack if you beat him.

Hand 6 easy fold, surely in the next few hands which you get to act early or first, you'll pick up a better hand to shove with... anything is better than 27o.

Shoving 5 is not a leak I wouldn't have thought.

I fold 6 only everything else I shove or in the case of 2 I snap call

1 - fold
2 - Lean toward call, but would need a read to really know.
3 - EZ push
4 - Fold readless, but if he's LAG, RRAI
5 - EZ push
6 - I shove here, but I'd be willing to listen to objections.

so pretty much consensue is Hands 2-5 push.
about HAND 2 : Villan was def active, after he busted villan said he had rags that hand, but since i did have a "5" im not much ahead... A5o vs Random = 57% are these odds good enough for us here ?
HAND 4 : BB pushed and Villan folded.

im intrested in your reasoning for hand #1 and the fact its utg...
