Hero ???
2nd one, ill either min fold, or 2.25 x and call the sb. Mostly the former. Sometimes against tight icm regs ill just jam but thats probably rare.
if you think you have FE with the guys with 5 bbs then yea
2nd hand
shove is fine could make argument to r/f guy with 80k r/c guy with 50k
1st hand...Yes def have FE against most randoms and 5bb on FT imo. But this is kinda restating the question?
I'm still unsure about the 2nd hand. I shipped and took it down uncontested, but I think your (& darb's) approach is better. Since they are randoms...

but I will look for a way to not jam if i can
definetly don't want to ship here I think, but I'd like to hear higher powers confirm. When we min raise and get jammed on we have to look at the odds and decide, But since we have a5o I think we are dominated so much by a reship range full of strong aces we can fold without making a pot odds mistake (double check this info in case I'm blasphemous).
The idea with regs of course is to bind them with icm by shoving. But most regs play just as tight when you min raise, or almost as tight. The only thing is you will great a dynamic with all your raise folding/raise calling....so just make sure next to you min raise and villain jams that you have aces (so ez game).
The other worry of course is he can widen his 3bet range and use your fold % to push really light....nobody does this.
There are so few regs I'm worried about reshipping light here...usually only the top few and only if i've been picking on them. Keep in mind the top regs play 30+ tables, and don't have to adjust to win.
Also there is one that I would min raise and snap call with A5o.
