One of the keys to the lower buyin STT's on Stars (or anywhere else with 1500 starting chips) is to play your strong hands aggressively and allow your opponents to make mistakes to knock themselves and each other out. Two of the keys to successful late and/or bubble play are to push from position when you are first to act and to almost never call a push from a stack equal or greater than you.

With those points in mind, how do you now think you should play these 4 hands?

A good post, thanks to yourself and everybody for the time to read and reply. Given all the above advice, put in the same situations again I believe I would:

#1 - FOLD

#2 - PUSH on the flop.

#3 - RAISE TO 400. fold to re-raise from big stacks. calling SS.

#4 - CALL looking for set value.

I understand the point above about the first-in vigour, however in the last two examples I was not first in which is why I believe the situations were more interesting and seeked advice upon. Thanks all. I will wait for a few more replies and post results when the thread drops from the first couple of pages.
