Hand 1 - I like the PF raise fine. I'd fold to the push though. You're a coinflip at best against too many hands and you have plenty of chips to get away from the hand after putting 150 in.

Hand 2 - Just fold. You have no FE here and he's getting the odds to call with pretty much any 2. There is also 1 stack that's in worse shape than you, which comes into play a bit here.

Hand 3 - Rather easy push.

with no read on the opponent, what would you expect from the typical $10 player ? i was thinking AK, AQ, AJ or any pair TT+.....?

From what I've seen, that's about right (with the occasional lower pair thrown in). JJ and AJ are unlikely, and you're only well ahead of TT in this range once you remove those two.

Remember, there's a big difference between pushing and calling an all-in. If you were going to call an all-in in Hand 1, then you probably should have pushed to begin with. Your stack was too big to really do that, so you took your shot at a raise, and now have to fold. You still have enough chips for this.

Hand #2, villain will call anyways. Your hand might have been good enough to open push, but not enough to push against a caller who will call with any 2 cards.

Hand #3. Standard.

Let's look at the range you put him on.

You dominate TT and AJ.
You're dominated by QQ, KK, AA.
You're coinflipping with AK, AQ.
You're tied with JJ.

I just think you can find better spots to get your money in than this, especially being that it's still early and you have a very workable stack if you fold.

good point

Hand 2 - Does a stop and go hold any merit here?
