Default Bubble...akward spot...push check?

So I'm really struggling with these spots...Its been costing me a lot of money and has resulted in some very strange/akward plays on my part....

I'll admit now - I'm awful - I know.
Also: I don't own SNGPT.


PokerStars...Hold'em No Limit - Level V (75/150)

Seat #8 is the button
=========
Seat 2: kidd62 (2170 in chips)
Seat 4: dartman18 (3771 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero (2049 in chips)
Seat 9: danethedrain (7010 in chips)
==========
danethedrain: posts small blind 75
kidd62: posts big blind 150
*** HOLE CARDS ***

Dealt to Hero [A HAND TO PUSH WITH]

(Lets assume for sake of discussion my hand is good/pushable ...but not a decent wired pair or AK...)
====
Question:

Whats the plan?
a) Raise? if so how much?
b) Open-push? Seems like a big stack to shove in for only T225...
c) Fold...'cuz the risk/return of either isn't great...

And if I raise....whats the flop plan the 2/3 of the time that I miss?

Sorry if this is elementary...

Not enough info. I play on party, but I suspect my standard play would be to raise to 400 and then decide what to do if someone pushes (dependent on my read and my hand).

[/ QUOTE ]

Wide. I expect the shortie to fold most of the time...
(Maybe 66+, AJ+, KQ MAYBE)

I've been playing tight (unusual for me I know)...but I'd still think they'd call, in general on average...any pair, most aces, KJ+ ...

Those ranges are for an open-push and widens if I only raise 2.5x as the one poster said. (to include connectors, lower kings and mid-queens)

What if you had 66? AQ? A10?

EDIT: I play low so I half expect to get wierd calls sometimes...

I don't push any hand here. Raise and play some postflop boy. Generally about 400. I'd like to know exactly what kind of hand we are talking about, what AT/99??
