1st I think is spew. You're throwing in 20 bbs with a crappy pair after shown aggression. If he calls you're either flipping or he's got you dominated.
If you aren't folding, I much prefer raising to something like 3500 and shipping any flop. It also looks scarier. I mean, if you had AA here, whould you really just ship or try to trap?
2nd I like. No one has shown aggression and a lot of dead money out there. I really think you want to push this and get it heads up, then pray. You're not ahead of much, but I really don't think you're behind a lot either other then KJ. KQ+ usually raises. Granted, he shows AJ, but you're still 40% here with a lot of dead money. Odds work for ya.
3rd
You're not THAT short stacked with 20bbs, although we are looking for a double up.
Unlike the first hand, here we're either flipping with a lower pp, got him beat on a 60-40 scenario, dominate him, and there's a few hands where he dominates us. Dont have poker stove here but I'm about 95% sure that pushing here is +EV, especially if there is any chance he'll fold.
More then anything though, we have AJ and 20bbs. I'm never folding, especially when I'm only against 1 opponent, and a slight chance he'll fold.
what i got from this most is i have the idea and some refining will serve me well. im certainly pushing my boundaries an nice to know im not completely out of line.
