Short stack has made it clear that he is going to fold every single hand until one of us busts. Am I obligated to play for third (unless I get a monster) and hope he doesn't double through when he's forced all-in in the blinds? Here's two hands I wasn't sure about folding:
1. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Hero (t780)
BB (t2840)
UTG (t480)
Button (t3900)
Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.
Final Pot: t300
Easy fold here. But what range of hands should I be pushing in? Assume that I have some FE, but not very much.

Hero (t680)
Button (t2240)
SB (t280)
BB (t4800)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.
Final Pot: t300
Same deal, I think this is a fairly easy fold (or is it?), but what range should I be thinking about shoving in here. Again, assume big stack probably isn't going to go away (calls with top ~70%).
