I've been off to a decent start, but I'm wondering if anyone can comment on a few of these push/folds.

First hand, I have a decent hand villian that raises to 100 is pretty loose, I figure this push has equity as I'm quite sure the other limpers will fold as well as the villian as he has shown strength before and then when played back at, has backed off. I assume this is standard with JJ

This next hand is from the bubble. I have AKo and villian who raises all-in is very tight. I'm still trying to find balance when I want a coin-flip if he has a made hand but I don't want to let AQ AJ get away with this, if he was loose I definatley believe calling the all-in which had me covered by about 400 on the bubble would have been correct.

My feeling here is to try to coast into the money, although at what point is fold just plain crappy and bad that I folded this on the bubble, when in so calling would have had me in a coin-flip with a tight player.

Sorry if these are straight forward, just looking for positive reinforcment that I'm making correct plays and not just getting lucky. Also, AKo is a monster hand, but it's better for pushing all-in then calling all-in with, especially on the bubble from what my basic understanding is. I hope my theory is correct and that these plays were ok.
